His Word is Good

A library is a house of hope (we could stop there) ...

It’s a place where we all, whatever our situation,

can feed our ideas and developed our dreams.

A cartoon showed (a father handing a child a book to his teen-age son):

“It’s a book you say, ..uh, what do I plug it into?” You mind!

Apart from the word of God, human life knows only chaos. It is the word that speaks order into creation and that sustains all the processes of nature. It is the word that motivates all history and brings it to fulfillment. It is the word alone that gives guidance, and forgiveness, and blessing, and fruitful life. It is in the word that God draws near to his chosen people and abides with them.

I share this because just as in (the Minor Prophet), Amos’ time...

(a famine of hearing the words of the Lord. ~ Amos 8:11)

There are many today who are tragically ignorant of their Bible.

...and some are weekly church goers!

They don’t’t know scripture, they don’t read it, or study it.

...I heard it said that those that do dabble with commentaries

are guilty of not creating their own.

The Biblical illiteracy among Christians is epidemic.

Father, our land is ripe for the hearing of your word

Let each and everyone of us begin a disciplined approach to your word

Reading it, studying it, digging deeper into it,

questioning what it means, praying on its application...

and then sharing with those around us the riches of doing so

sharing it in a way that excites others to join us

In your Son’s name we pray...

Pray on...
