It has been my experience that almost everyone is interested in the Bible to some degree. Most people own one, and most have picked it up and read at least a portion of it. But unfortunately many people have set it back down because it seemed so intimidating to them.
For me personally, once I began to understand how to read and study the Bible, it came alive to me. Our hope through the next 40 days or so, is that this study will ignite a passion in people to read their Bibles.
Here's what I know. There are millions of books out there. If you don't believe me, just go to Amazon and take a look. Many of those books are great reads, but there is only one book that can truly change your life, that's the Bible.
Suppose you were watching a TV infomercial that advertised a book that taught the secrets of success in life—how to improve relationships—how to excel in business—how to select a spouse—how to have a great sex life—how to raise kids—how to overcome stress and worry, and live forever in heaven, would you get your pen and write down that 1-800 number? You bet you would.
That’s what the Bible tells us and MORE! But the best part about the Bible is that it teaches us about our God. It teaches us of His glory, His character and nature. It shares of His immense and intense love for us. It tells us the story of our Savior and the gospel message. Yes, the Bible is no ordinary book, but unless we read it, study it, memorize and meditate on it and mostly obey it, it cannot change us!
Please join us beginning this Sunday as we begin this journey together.
