Hi all,

This is a rebroadcast of my study in the Song of Songs. For over a year back in 2012 I posted these weekly. Since they have all be lost with my old site, I’m going to start re-publishing these on Saturdays.

They will be pretty much in their original form, though I reserve the right to update and tweak, and perhaps even add a post here and there.

I pray this study blesses you as much as it did me.

So – here we go…

Song of Songs Saturday (Here’s why)

A few years back I spent a couple years studying the Song of Songs. Initially inspired by Mike Bickel’s 1998 twenty 1 hour teachings (which he updated in 2007 to twenty-four – 45-minute teachings) I took up his challenge to live in this Song for a while. There is a link below to Mike’s web site where you can download the teachings and the notes that go with it. I would highly recommend throwing this on your favorite audio device and giving it a listen. It will change the way you think about EVERYTHING!

I got my hands on a few other books and started living in the Song of Songs for pretty much both devotional and study time. I read a number of books with different approaches to the Song, and it started to flavor everything I did.

When I started in the Song, it did not seem very relevant. But in short order, I found that every conversation I had somehow related back to the Song. This came as a surprise to me.

How does this relate to the Red Letters (my theme for this blog) you might ask. As you will see, if you come back for weekly installments, Jesus is one of the 2 main characters of the Song. At least that’s the approach I will be taking. It is not by any means the only approach, but I like it best.

So stop by on Saturday mornings for the next year or so, and walk through this beautiful love story with me.

See you next week!

Ben
