THE BIG BOOK

Bible teacher Arthur Arnold shared that he was calling on a family in his church. Before leaving the house, he asked the family if they wanted him to read from the Bible to them. The lady of the house said to the young son, “Go bring the big book we read out of so much.” The boy returned with the Sears & Roebuck catalog!

The Bible was meant to be kept in a prominent place in our lives, and that doesn’t mean open on the coffee table. The prominent place is in our hearts. And we have to read it to know what it says.

What portion of the Bible have you been reading lately?

I am guilty of not reading the Bible as I should and something I need to get better at, however today I did read a passage out of Ephesians.

I believe there is an under lying lesson here. We can fool each other in public and get by with things. However, give five minutes with your children and I can tell you what kind of person you are and pretty well how the home life is.

Let us remember to pray for the families and ask God for the strength to do what is right in his eyes. Our Children will learn how they live. If we strive to do right so will they.

I am in 1 Peter right now. The scripture I’ve been meditating on is 3:15 which is always being prepared to give an answer for the hope we have. So many have lost their hope or it has been in the wrong place. We need to know in our hearts why we believe what we do. Right now, the only thing we have that never changes is God’s word and it has been with us since the beginning. If God’s word is only in our mind, it is just knowledge but if it is in our heart, it’s WISDOM and that changes lives.
