    Of no interest to me ... another tool in which you try to tell me what the Bible means rather than guiding me to find the meaning myself. Yes, I complain about this even on some of the tagging. :-)

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    @mjespuiva-86 A professor of mine in seminary used to say that applying the Bible to ourselves and others perhaps the hardest part of biblical interpretation and preaching. People regularly ask for help in this area, so it’s clearly a need. However, we wouldn’t here be looking to write a bunch of prose application as much as we would organizing existing application and pointing users to it.

    @phil-gons As I view the Bible more as a conversation with God and less as black ink on paper, I understand why it is wanted, why it makes sense for you to do it, and why I will ignore it. I would expect it to get voted upward quite quickly.

    I want this very much. One of the most flawed areas of preaching today is consistent, well-grounded applications of exegesis. Today things are either going to the extreme of flawed and sentimental applications or to little or no application. Another need in this sense would be a dataset of illustrations.
