In public

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

One of our great church members sent a link around several months ago for a way to read the Bible on your mobile. I am not usually an early adopter so I put off downloading it. Plus, I’m not always so technically minded it took me awhile to figure out how to actually get it to my blackberry. However, after a couple of clicks an icon appeared and I actually had the Bible on my blackberry.

Next came the tough part…putting down brickbreaker during any “free” time. There were a couple of times I looked a verse or two up at a red light. No, I didn’t try to drive and read! I also used my blackberry to look up several verses for a Life Group lesson and to have another translation. However, one of the coolest times I read the Bible was at the mall. If you haven’t read the Bible in a truly public setting you need to give it a go. That context really affects your senses and your heart and mind.

Out of the mouth of children

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

The other day I was talking with one of my children about praying a scripture and I asked what scriptures were memorized. Without hesitation, “For God so loved the world that he gave His only forgotten son…”

Probably has happened before but it really made me think…what do we really have committed to memory from Scripture?

I’m sure we’ve memorized a lot of stuff before: song lyrics, telephone numbers (before cell phones and their address books); directions, formulas, etc. What about scripture?

Make it a goal to start today, one verse at a time.
