Lessons at BGST

When I turned 30, I figured it was time to get off my behind and get some theological education under my belt.. And, although my physical girth was growing (and stretching my belt), I felt starved for the Word of God.. So, I applied, and got accepted (by God's grace) for a part-time Dip in Christian Studies with the Biblical Graduate School of Theology (BGST) .. praying that the Lord would provide the emotional, intellectual and physical resources.. and that I would grow in Gospel-centredness and Christ-likeness.. and that I would be more disciplined (pray with me when you read this yar..)

I started evening lessons last week on the Book of Ezekiel, by Dr Daniel I Block.. It has been an enriching time learning from this OT scholar, and (humble) man of God.. what struck me was that he didn't just seem to teach, he preached (and with an 'unction', a 'heaviness' as the old puritans would say).. and he was most excited when getting into the meat of the text, nor merely the background material..
