Becoming A Person Of Influence

Posted in Donald Miller, Leadership, Quotes, Reading on February 10, 2011| Leave a Comment »

“If you want to be a person of influence, or if you want to lead, or for that matter if you want to succeed, start reading…

Turn off your television and read two books a week next year and you’ll be counseling the Pope or the President.

It’s true what I learned all those years ago: Readers are leaders.” 1

–Don Miller

Who will join me in setting a goal of reading an average of one good book a week for the rest of 2011?

Seeing Christ (and us) in the Psalms

Posted in Bible, Explanations, Reading, tagged , , , on July 14, 2010| Leave a Comment »

“He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me” – Psalm 41:9; John 13:8

Jesus understood the Psalms a special way.

Here, beyond the context of the psalmist and a faithless friend, Jesus said it actually referred to himself, the Christ, and his betrayer.

All the New Testament writers likewise interpreted first person pronouns (“Me”, “My”, “I”) in Psalms as referring to Christ, not the psalmist. Notice Peter on the Jewish feast of Pentecost preaching Jesus’ resurrection, quoting

“For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.” – Psalm 16:10, Acts 2:27

It wasn’t the psalmist, David, but Christ this speaks of!

Read the Psalms from the first person of Christ, and of us united with him1; it will add a whole new dimension.
