Tentative Approval

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

Please allow me a moment to celebrate. I spoke with my doctoral advisor today and he gave tentative approval over my doctoral project proposal. Basically, what that means is - get to work! I can now begin the hard work of researching and writing the first three chapters.

I know -you are wondering: What is the subject of the project? So, here is a synopsis.

Title: Improving the Personal Application of Expositional Sermons Among Selected Participants at First Baptist Church of Cameron, Missouri

Process: I will gather a group of people that will agree to participate in the project for 10 weeks. Each person will be given a journal. In the journal, they will take notes from each of 10 sermons and seek to discover the personal application for his or her life. We will meet together that week and talk about what was learned and discovered. In the process, I will track the progress of each person and see what we can learn about how to apply the Bible from sermons.

Please pray! I have a great deal of work to do over the next two months.
