PFHL 160-- Christian Permission (2 pgs.)

(compiled by Bill Stevenson)

Directions: Write an essay about how you personally relate or have experienced the concepts
in the following reference list of verses having the commandment word “let” in
them. This assignment is worth 3 units, so write at least 4 quality pages (single
spaced lines and no redundancies).
Note: In September 1977, the Holy Spirit has been continually reminding me about the
New Testament use of the word "let". It usually means for a believer “to allow” and
is found in admonitions for commitment. This list includes many possible
"springboards" for Bible study discussions.
