People often ask, “Why am I studying for so long and putting in effort, but not receiving revelation?” The fact of the matter is that the state cannot change while that is what is still important to us.

The 2001 Walt Disney movie, The Princess Diaries, provides an unintentional picture of salvation to believers.

Here is the plot summary of the movie from imdb.com:

The Hebrew alphabet (or "alef bet" as it is called) contains 22 letters. The Hebrew language is read from right to left as opposed to left to right for English, Spanish, and other Western languages. For example the chart below begin with alef, bet, gimel, and so on.

If a person has a fair amount of exposure to Mainstream Christianity, and a familiarity with the Bible, he may notice that Mainstream Christianity often de-emphasizes the Old Testament and puts a disproportionate amount of emphasis on Paul's epistles. I would hesitate to say that any part of the Scriptures can be overemphasized. However, if we give uncalled-for weight and emphasis to certain parts of the Bible, and neglect what the rest of the Scriptures teaches about an issue, we will probably develop and imbalanced view of that particular issue.
