Two Goals for the Summer
I have two goals this summer to go along with my ministry, Lord willing, at Faith Community Church, and my daily reading plan–which is going really well.
First, I want to maintain a working level of understanding of my Greek by translating the epistle to the Galatian Churches. In doing this, I will be able to keep my Greek skills sharp and in use. Other wise I am going to let them deteriorate and that isn’t good. If I finish that book and there is time left for the summer, I will work on translating 1 John.
The goal I have is to read every day from the Works of Jonathan Edwards Volume 1 and, if I can finish that, Volume 2. I am convinced that there is only so much the fine teachers of today can teach me. There is only so much of what Edwards wrote that they can teach me, or any other past theologian for that matter. There is nothing like being able to read Edwards for myself and see what Yahweh will teach me through his Holy Spirit. Thus I want to read as much of his works as possible while there will be ample time to read.
I feel these are lofty goals for the summer that will keep me sharp in both my language studies and in my understanding of Scripture, God, and theology as a whole. I wonder what goals you have for this summer that will help you keep up with the area that you are studying in so that when school starts back up in the fall, you will be on the ball ready to go. Students often forget much of what they learn during the semesters during the summer. I encourage you to do something that will keep your mind sharp and help you recall some of the things you have learned.
