CHRISTIANITY BLOGGING:
Something with relevance to something significant: I made the switch a couple days ago from working my way through Jeremiah to starting with Matthew... Pentecost and all, seemed like an appropriate time to switch over to something I could get fired up about, and after some tough sledding with Isaiah, it wasn't getting any easier for me (and my lack of enthusiasm was especially troubling as I didn't, in general, feel apathetic about my Christianity). So I made the switch, but I have two sub-questions people might be able to help me out with:
a. I think part of my problem with the major prophets is that I never really have read a good exegesis of them. Any recommendations?
b. I'm aware that part of the reason to do daily Bible reading is for the discipline portion of it, and I'm a little worried that I switched over to something I was more interested in for a bad reason, or, at least, that I'm setting a bad precedent for myself. Any thoughts on the comparative importance of being engaged in what you're reading and training yourself to find it all interesting?
