The Bible speaks of spiritual realities but it does not promote a method of how to perform spiritual realities. All these preachers who go to college and learn how to interpret scripture get jobs where all they seem to do is allegorize scripture. They present meaning in metaphors and similes instead of teaching their flocks how to read scripture themselves. I think we as a flock have become accustomed to hearing what we think is inspirational instead of understanding inspiration [encouraging] comes from intellectual understanding. Real inspiration believes in something with courage, and knowledge is the only way to know what you believe in. Without a confidence in what we believe we can't stand for what God has taught.
