MASSIVE thanks to God and to Brother Graham Neads for the gift of, "Timothy Keller - His Spiritual and Intellectural Formation," by Collin Hansen.
Proverbs 2:4 says, "...and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure..." This left we wondering how you could treat the Scriptures as if searching for hidden treasure, or mining silver. Today, I got my first taste of one approach. Tim Keller was strongly influenced by Barabara Boyd - an austere woman of God who encouraged her students to dig deeper into the Word.
A challenge she gave to her students (which I gladly accepted today) was to take a verse - in this case, Mark 1:17 - and find 50 insights from that single verse. If you cannot read my picture, that is GOOD! This is because the joy in the exercise is in doing it for yourself. The verse says:
‘Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will send you out to fish for people.’
Using coloured pens to break up the verse into words and phrases, I found the thoughts flowed easily and delightfully - and I would recommend you have a go.
Barbara has a whole formulaic system that I found I didn't need once I'd decided to use coloured pens. This is a great way to dive deeper into the Word.
The fuller system includes:
1) Reading through the passage twice - slowing down on the second read through. I find it helpful to read the passage out loud because then you notice other matters. Perhaps put emphasis on different words...
2) Who? What? Where? When? Why? How? - six goodly honest questions that can open the text...
3) Notice words of contract, or of 'cause and effect', or words that are repeated...
4) Paraphrase the passage (and I'd recommend having a look at a translation like 'The Message' or, for the NT, J B Phillips)...
5) What questions do you have about the passage? Are they answered in the passage? Do you need help with historical, linguistic, or cultural aspects? If so, feel free to use a reference resource.
6) What's the overall theme?
7) Outline the flow of the passage - looking for movement from one section to another - note connections or even contrasts - key words to notice are 'and' as well as 'but' and 'so' and 'therefore' which give clues to the flow and sometime cause and effect.
8) How does the flow of the passage and what you've discovered about the history, language, or culture affect your interpretation? Does this change the overall theme?
9) So what does the passage mean? How does it apply to you? Is there something you need to change like the way you think or an action you need to take? What have you learned about yourself? What have you learned about God? What are the implicatons of this new grasp of the truth?
Yes, this is digging deeper and it takes time, but the rewards are well worth it!
I have recommendations about which coloured pens and nice paper to use if you'd like some!
