No More Excuses: Read Your Old Testament!

Quite frankly, the excuses I have heard for why Christians don’t read or study the Old Testament are laughable. My goal is to persuade you to read, study, and even teach the Old Testament, but in order to accomplish this goal I must first deal with some of the most common excuses that are offered for ignoring this part of the Bible. So in this lesson (which is part 1), let me address some reasons people offer for setting the Old Testament aside. Later, we will discuss why we should read our Old Testament (part 2), and finally (part 3) how we should read the Old Testament.
