Rightly Dividing with Ron Anderson
Pastor Ron Anderson is dedicated to Rightly Dividing Scripture through sound exegesis and engaging exposition. These critical elements are essential to accurately applying the Bible to daily life. To understand the Bible as the Author intended, it is imperative to listen to both the voice of the Author and the writer, while taking into consideration the various contextual influences, cultural dynamics, grammatical constructs, and language of the era and culture in which they were used. Overlooking or disregarding any or all of these elements is to completely miss the intent and message of the Author. Practical engaging Bible teaching, verse by verse studies, topical studies, spiritual growth, Biblical ethics, morals, and lifestyle.
We do not decide what God’s Word means, we discover what God’s Word means!

Rightly Dividing with Ron Anderson
A NEEDLE? A CAMEL? A GATE? Matthew 19:16 - 26
The Bible DOES NOT CONTAIN MYTHS! However, there are some myths that have developed which are attributed to, or related to, the Bible. These myths have developed as a result of misunderstanding, preconceived notions, assumptions, and cultural influences. For example: the "eye of the needle" refers literally and specifically to a small door in a large gate in the wall around the city of Jerusalem; or, there were three wise men and they arrived at the stable right after Jesus was born; or "money is the root of all evil!" The purpose of this series is to "bust those myths" with the hammer of Biblical truth. It is critically important to understand the Bible accurately and in the light of all it's contextual dynamics. If small distortions and assumptions are tolerated, then large distortions and assumptions are invited! "...rightly divide the word of truth..." II Tim. 2:15
