yesterday in church our sermon was on "listening to GOD." questions starting forming in my mind about what to put on this blog this am. one of the questions i had was "do most of you even read the bible?"
a popular theme among christians is your "quiet time." most individuals may not even know what this is. i have not had a routine of quiet time since my first son was born. i used to feel guilty about this, and now i don't because i will pray when i need to, or read the gospel in little bits at a time. both of these reasons is why i am doing this blog, because if i do not fill my spirit daily with his words then i am not living the life that GOD wants me to.
i am only going to put one question to you today and i hope that all you will answer the question honestly; do you read the bible?
i have put 2 familiar verses to us all, one of course is about creation and the other is about love. if you know these verses, maybe you could read a little bit more; what would that hurt? all of us at some point in time or another has read a self-help book. the difference with those books is that it's just opinion, the bible actually teachs you on how you should be living your life.
"in the beginning GOD created the heavens and the earth." genesis 1:1
"love is patient, love is kind. it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud." 1 corinthians 13:1
i would love to hear why you read the bible, what the above verses even mean to you, if you have a favorite story in the bible. if you don't read the bible, or seek out the gospel i would really like to know why.
