Sound observation requires resisting subjectivity and reading every passage within its larger context. These notes highlight the principles that keep interpretation anchored.
- Connections – Emphasizes objectivity: see what the text actually says, not what we want it to say.
- Connections – Reminds us that artificial breaks (chapter/verse) must not override the flow of thought.
- Connections – A checklist for asking the basic 5W1H questions.
- Connections – Big-picture reading prevents taking verses out of context.
- Connections – Context works both directions: parts explain the whole, the whole explains the parts.
Together, these principles ensure observation remains faithful, accurate, and anchored in context.
