For all 3 of you who may follow this blog, TL and I have been going back and forth on EnnisP's blog (you may remember him from all the posts on tithing) concerning some difficult passages in the Bible. See the discussion in the comments section here: http://nowthinkaboutit.com/2010/01/slavery-rape-and-gays-in-the-ot/. I may spend some time here on this blog dealing with those passages.

We are planning to work on planting a church in the area and a few of us wanted to get together and study the Bible together while we wait for that to happen. I also had some former students who wanted to study the Bible so we decided just to meet on our own at our house and start a book study. We're going through Philippians right now. If I had the money, I'd buy Matt Chandler's group study of Philippians from www.gotothehub.com. But we're just working verse by verse through the book. Today we spent about an hour on the implications of the first two verses. I really like the small group idea, especially meeting in homes. There seems to be a much greater intimacy. We hope to diversify this group as well to see people of every age group come and fellowship together. Unfortunately, many Baptists are so tied to their buildings they miss out on great opportunities. We started this on our own.

Did/Do they give you the materials by which to study? Wish our church had small group instead of one of the other services, but from what i am told-that is not the Baptist way. :) just curious: did you guys start this Bible study on your own, or was this through church?
