Application Assignment

Tomorrow is the last day of my first seminary class.  (They're going to have to do it without me though, because I'll be at the tech rehearsal of Imagine Christmas at First Baptist Euless.)  In my class, BE101: Bible Study Methods and Hermeneutics, we've walked through the four steps of inductive Bible study: Observation, Interpretation, Correlation, and Application.  We've practiced these processes on several passages, but we mainly focused on Philemon, and specifically verses 4-7.  Last week we were tasked with correlating, or drawing out timeless principles from, these four verses.  This week we were asked to carry that to the last step by constructing 3 careful, concise, correct, contemporary applications.  In addition, we were challenged to select one of our applications and actually apply it this week, reporting on the effects thereof.  As I was finishing my assignment this evening, it dawned on me that some of you may enjoy reading about my experiences over the last week in this assignment.  If the names Steve & LuAnne Wade, Mark Knight, Mark Bailey, Rebekah Wade, Doug Sager, or John Meador mean anything to you, please read on...
