For too many people the Bible is a closed book. Maybe you’ve tried, got overwhelmed or discouraged, and gave up. Why should you read it anyway?
When Billy Graham was asked this question he responded by saying, "You cannot grow spiritually strong without it." Just as we need food in order to survive and thrive, so too we need a steady diet of the spiritual "food" God has provide in the Bible.
Job said, “I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread” (Job 23:12). Is the Bible this important to you?
Don’t look on the Bible as a bad-tasting medicine—think of it instead as a delightful food that God has given us to strengthen our souls! The Psalmist said, “Blessed is the one … whose delight is in the law of the Lord” (Psalm 1:1-2).
You see, God wants you to grow in your faith—and one of the ways that happens is through reading God’s Word and letting its truth sink deeply into our hearts and minds. Through the Bible we learn how God wants us to live, and we learn too what He has done to save us.
You are invited to join Pastor Stanly Joseph on Sunday mornings from 9 - 10 am in our church's youth room and discover how to read the Bible for all it's worth.
