Application of Condition of Christendom to Intellectual, the Frontier (Bledsoe)

Thanks, Rich!

 

And here's a way to approach 'the intellectual frontier'.

 

Use JBJ's 7x7 grid as a way for the whole Bible to respond to a sermon, or something else, in this way.

 

1--Each of 49 congregants (or groups, such as families) respectively becomes the congregation 'expert' on that book.  Someone is Leviticus, someone is second Leviticus=Psalms, etc.

 

Jordan 7x7 (modified) fromhttp://www.biblicalhorizons.com/biblical-horizons/no-80-rethinking-the-order-of-the-old-testament/

1 Genesis	2 Exodus	3 Leviticus	4 Numbers	5 Deuter- onomy	6 Joshua	7 Judges
8 Samuel (I think JBJ exchanged Samuel and Ruth later)	9 Ruth	10 Psalms	11Job	12 Proverbs	13 Song of  Songs	14 Ecclesiastes
15 Isaiah	16 Kings	17 Jeremiah-Lamentations	18 Ezekiel	19 Daniel	20 Esther	21 The Twelve
22 Greater Chronicles	23 Matthew	24 Mark	25 Luke	26 John	27 Acts	28 Revelation
29 James	30 1 Peter	31 2 Peter	32 1 John	33 2 John	34 3 John	35 Jude
36 Romans	37 1 Corinthians	38 2 Corinthians	39 Galatians	40 Ephesians	41 Philippians	42 Colossians
43 1 Thessalonians	44 2 Thessalonians	45 1 Timothy	46 2 Timothy	47 Titus	48 Philemon	49 Hebrews

2--After the sermon, within the service, within the church calendar, within the life of the church and society, each instrument (book of Bible) player writes maybe 1/2 page about how the sermon can be seen through the lens (the  new eyes) of that book. [Wouldn't it be neat if each sat in the position of the book in the above grid! -- The congregation would 'be' the Bible!]

 

3--Thus each teaches the other, they one another one another.

 

4--Were this put on a web page, evangelism efforts would better 'tell everyone what He has done'.  What's your church like?  Well, we do this interactive thing, wherein we have 49 perspectives on the Bible.

 

5-- Don't have 49?  Tell a 'prospect' that we need a 4th Joshua=Luke?

 

6--Approaching an American literature scholar, ask him or her to superintend the Leviticus section, from the position of Moby Dick=Levitticus, as Jim has said.

 

7--A bonus.  Philemon is the Judges of Joshua.  It tells about conquest.  My friend, Eric Robinson, has made valuable remarks about how Paul's use of rhetoric, the tongue, was used in the slavery issue.

 

8--The best 'telling' ways are found by actually praying over the town, and the houses, and those who aren't in the liturgical battle weekly, asking the Holy Spirit to give you the right words, I propose. And you have mentioned that Boulder, and Cambridge, England are the frontier--we know how to do tribes.  I call this an 'interactivity'. Hahn, I've read somewhere was asked to teach patritistics at a Roman Catholic seminary, a type of joining a team in a way.  I  have a series of 'interactivities,' in the I.O.W.A. play, Interactivities.Of.Warriors.Advancing.

 

Love in King Jesus,

 

Charlie

PS: If the 7x7 grid doesn't come through as a grid, look on ChuckHartmanHistoryConductor.

Grid from E. T. Hall's Silent Language, where he uses a 10x10 to show a whole society.
