"Bible Knowledge" 

Colossians 4:14 "Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you."

Sometimes Bible knowledge is a strange mystery. Ever hear someone say something so authoritatively you just had to question how they figured out that was true? In my very early 20's I questioned pretty much everything. So in a Bible study one evening I stopped the teaching to inquire just where does the idea that Luke was a doctor come from? The teacher, without a pause told me to look up Colossians 4:14 and had me read it to everybody. To this day I do not have that kind of knowledge of the Scriptures. But, he also said, "Keep asking questions and check out everything. Keep learning for your whole life."

Luke was Paul's personal physician. He attended to him during his imprisonment. Also, during some of his mission journeys. How do I know that? From reading Acts and Paul's prison epistles. Keep asking questions. Check out everything. Keep learning for your whole life. Bible knowledge acquisition is like eating and elephant... One bite at a time. It is the chewing and swallowing that take time. If I had read a chapter of scripture for every television show I have watched, I would have read all of the Bible, Lord knows, how many times over. Keep eating and maybe consider changing your diet.
