Practice of Christian Service

This week I would like you to write a reflection blog on a passage of scripture.  You may choose any passage but it can't be a few verses, you must read a portion, a whole story. Spend 10-15 minutes in reading.  I would suggest picking an epistle and read that all the way.  Or perhaps the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7).  After spending time reading and reflecting, remember be fed by the passage.  I have given just a few questions to consider, add depth to your answer, no one sentence getting straight to the point answers.

What passage did you choose and what is described in the passage you chose (what is it about)?

What do you think the reader is meant to understand about the passage you chose (you may need a secondary source, like a commentary, to clarify portions of your scripture, here is a commentary resource http://www.biblegateway.com/resources/commentaries/ )?

How could this passage challenge or help someone? OR What situations could someone be going through and this scripture seems helpful?

Respond in your own blog, not as a comment to this post.
