Read
the Bible in a year |
|
|
|
If you have ever thought about reading the entire
Bible then here is your chance to take up the challenge. The Bible
is not a single narrative written by one person, as we understand
books today. Think of the Bible as a library. It is a collection
of prophecies, histories, prayers, parables and teaching written
down over many centuries. The writings that were considered the
most sacred and thoses that were mostly used by the Jews and later
the Christians were brought together in what we now know as the
Bible. |

| Thought
for today
Thursday 29 July 2010 |
|
 God in a box? I wonder – do you try and squash God into a box? Do you try and make God too small? Sometimes we make God only as big as we can imagine, and only as powerful as we think He can be. We fail to grasp how ‘broad and long, how high and deep is Christ’s love.’ (Ephesians 3:18). But then, we are mere human beings, and trying to understand the enormity of God and his love for us can be a tricky thing. However, perhaps the most important thing is that we don’t limit God, that we don’t squash him into a box, but that try and grasp the mere size of God, and the intensity of His love for us. | |
Prayer for today | |
Awesome love Loving God, forgive me for the times I fail to grasp the awesomeness of your love for me. Amen |
