The reluctant Swedish reader
- Carl Matthei •
- 23 May 2015
I am a reluctant convert to the Swedish Method for Bible study. I read the Briefing article all of those years ago and decided to try it out in a couple of Bible study groups. It didn’t work!

- 16 June 2015
What we believe deep down always bubbles to the surface, whether in an idle word or in the way we behave. In particular, what we believe theologically will inevitably be expressed not only through what we say but in how we do things. And when we behave inconsistently with our stated convictions, it reveals the struggle that goes on within all of us below the surface—the struggle to believe the truth.
