INSIGHT

Scriptures as Encounter Places

Scriptures are not just texts, but places where we meet the Lord.
They open our minds and hearts to ask questions and receive revelation.

INSIGHT

Receiving Builds Revelation

To receive spiritually means to accept and cherish, not just to hear or take.
The Lord gives more revelation abundantly to those prepared to receive.

ANECDOTE

TARDIS as Spiritual Metaphor

The TARDIS in Doctor Who looks small outside but is bigger on the inside.
This is like parables and scripture: more depth appears when you have faith to receive.
