Let’s Recap, Rethink, Replace–and Then, Resume
Well, our somewhat extended stopover at the Welcome Center of the Word will soon be coming to an end. However, before we get back on board the Truth Train and depart for the next stop on our Rocking and Rolling Tour through the Bible, I think it would be helpful for us to pause for a few minutes so that we can… Recap—or review where we have been and what we have learned so far; Rethink—that is, reconsider some of the traditional approaches to Bible study that we have used in the past; and, Replace—the approaches which tend to confuse us, with ones that will provide us with some measure of…

Mapping Out the Land of Revelation Knowledge
Now that we have unloaded as much baggage as we can bear to part with at the present time, let’s leave Booth #2 behind and make our way on over to Booth #3—still here at the Welcome Center of the Word—where we will find maps of the Land of Revelation Knowledge that we are preparing to visit. As will any map for any traveler venturing into any new territory, these will prove to be great aids to us as we continue on our journey through the world of the Word. That’s because, through their clear delineation of boundaries, we will be able to determine the extent of, or the limitations imposed upon, the knowledge that will actually be made available to…

We are still here at the Welcome Center of the Word, where we have been arming ourselves with information which will prove to be invaluable during the remainder our rocking and rolling trip through the Bible. Having first learned a little something about the Bible at Booth #1, it is now time for us to move on to Booth #2, where we will be given the opportunity to identify and check some of the baggage that we have brought with us on this trip. And make no mistake about it, regardless of the group you are traveling with, when you boarded this Truth Train, you did so with one or more bags…
