Confessions from a Baptist (By Chris)

Ok everyone I have a confession to make. I think that there is a tremendous need for Christians to spend more time in the Old Testament. I believe that because of our neglect in this area of the scripture we tend to lean towards license and abuse grace. In fact I have felt convicted to spend more time in the first five books. This I will do, although probably not right away. The commandments of God are of tremendous importance. I do not share the same view on application as many here would but the entire book is good none-the-less. I also must admit that the reason in part for the ignorance about prophecy that exists in the grand majority of Christian churches is due to a woeful ignorance of the prophets. The whole book is good, evangelicals should stop neglecting the older parts of the book and spend more time trying to harmonize the teachings of the two sections and their books. What do you think? Or am I just a crazy Baptist?
