Is it OK to re-arrange the 45 items into less than 10 groups, so that they are easy to read, understand and remember? Thank you. — a lay Christian (haven’t got theological education)

Wowee, this post was not the thing to read as a ‘nice little vibe before bedtime…’ I hit the link expecting to learn something, but this level of rebuke was not what I’d envisaged. I’m totally in harmony with the other comments – I’ve been in academic theology for some time and am now preparing for seminary itself – but some of those points have stabbed my ego good and proper – and also illuminated some problems that I’ve been talking to God about in my own being. I am going to print this off, add it to my private devotional file and pray over it. THANK YOU!

Can I re-publish it (in Russian) in our electronic newsletter “EAAA Panorama” (a newsletter of the association of evangelical schools in the former Soviet Union, http://e-aaa.info)? Wishing you all the best from the Lord, Taras.

choosing to go to seminary simply because studying the Word is my absolute favorite pastime and i would rather fill the hours of all my days doing nothing else, when i am already educated far beyond obedience, having received a foundational training at the Word of Life Bible Institute and having been equipped to know how to continue studying the Word with discernment, so that desire for seminary training becomes selfish ambition to fulfill personal satisfaction above faithfulness to my Savior
