He speaks on the privilege believers have in holding a personal relationship with God, and how this time of relationship through prayer, worship, and the Word is the most essential part of a Christian's day. He gives examples of what a quiet time might look like, and goes through the warning signs, dangers, and hurdles that may be encountered through quiet time during one's walk with the Lord.

We focus the conversation on “the key of David” found in Revelation 3:7 and referenced in Isaiah 22:22. Justin explains why his father wrote the book The Keys of Bible Study and what the dangers are to not applying the Bible with a heart of love and reverence for the God of the Bible. In an age of welcoming multiple interpretations as valid, Justin explains why it is that we cannot afford to study God’s book sloppily.

When studying the Bible there are many principles that help us to effectively study the Bible and understand it literally. In this episode we discuss the relationship between speaker and audience when establishing context within scripture.

We also briefly touch on the danger of allegorizing things that are not intended to be allegory and misinterpreting allegory as though it’s literal. We see how soteriology and eschatology are affected negatively by not taking clear Bible distinctions seriously.
