Yeah, you'd be surprised how much you can learn just by getting a little bit deeper.
For instance... there's a verse in James, I think the second or third chapter, where it talks about being meek, or humble. And thats great and all... but when you look into the greek, at what was actually being said. When James said meek he was refering to a horse. A horse who races. Because when a horse runs a race he must give up all of his own pride, and desires to do what his master is telling him to do. Because thats the only way that he can win. :) Its really, really amazing, my Youth Pastor always says "the context is more powerful then the verse" and its SO true.

I LOOOVE that, I'm gonna take it for my blog... do you mind???
My friend and I just started this thing where we get together once a week, and after reading the bible everyday all week we get together and compare. Pull out a concordance, maybe a couple different versions of the bible and get down to the knitty gritty about you know "what that ACTAULLY means" more context kinda stuff. Anywho, I'll have to e-mail you sometime we can compare notes. :)
Great post BTW, really encouraging.
