Academic and Spiritual life

What we pursue and learn in the Bible College are prone to be more to the academical achievement...beside that, we have to continue to pursue growth in our spiritual life. Academic achievement and theological training are different from a personal walk with God. Academic and spiritual life, must be balanced! They are not the same thing.

What about VPP, it is more prone and swing to the Academic side....VPP is a theological perception, but a closer walk with God is more important than this mere perception. I hope all the FEBC students can differentiate the differences between academic and spiritual achievement.

Academic is academic, spiritual life is spiritual life...do not spend too much time in arguing the VPP. I think, we better read the Bible on our desk, no matter what version it is. A few missing words in a translation, does not mean the Lord is missing in that Bible version !

I hope you read the NKJV, the Lord is not missed in NKJV, He is well mentioned in NKJV.
You read the CUV, the Lord is not left out in this Bible, He is well mentioned in CUV.
You read the ESV, the Lord is not missed in ESV, He is still being mentioned in ESV...

Question is, why you read the Bible? the answer is that you wanted to find Christ, you wanted to find salvation, you wanted to find assurance, you wanted to pursue spiritual life. This is right perception about the Bible.

Please do not treat the Bible as a academic book, let the academic people do the academic thing, we as an ordinary man poor sinner, we better stick to the Bible version we have in our hands.

We better read the Bible daily...pray without ceasing...so that our inner life become stronger and stronger...In everything give thanks...forget the past...serving the Lord fervently, giving and forgiving, let us growing, and growing.

I hope the theologians know how to give space for the ordinary men to grow and be strong in the Lord. I hope the Lord is not missed ...this time in the civil court. Especially in these last days, the end time, the Lord is knocking the door, if any man hear him, and open the door, He will come in, and He will dine with him. Let him has ear hear this, there is a voice calling...prepare the way for the second coming of the Lord.

There are 10 virgins, waiting for the Lord, 5 virgins are smart, 5 virgins are foolish, they must prepare the oil, in watching the time. I wished we prepared well in watching and waiting for the Lord, hoping He is not missed this time...in our life on earth. What for keep on fighting on a few missing words, and keep on fight among us for a little academic achievement, what is the reward in pursuing that VPP?
