Plainfield Ponderings - Scripture Meditations
Hello! I'm Allen Greeley and I love thinking and meditating on Scripture. Another word for it, which we don't use very often, is pondering. When the mother of Jesus heard the shepherds retell the vision of the angels celebratory singing; the Scripture says, "Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart" (Luke 2:19). That alone is my goal with this podcast. I want us to treasure in our hearts what we hear from God and ponder it. It would be an honor to have you listen in and ponder with me. To God be the glory!

Suffering’s FAQ Section of Scripture
Ponder with me the problem of suffering through the book of Job! In this introduction we first talk through how God answers our most profound and troubling questions. The Scripture isn't like a FAQ section on a website where you can just go and get a quick sentence on the most troubling questions. We are made to sit, think, and ponder (!) the questions through the stories and sometimes poetry of Scripture. There are no quick answers, or easy ones. At the end of the lesson, we'll think about the evangelistic opportunities that suffering allows us. To God be the glory!
