I couldn’t find any pictures on Google images of people SUPER excited to read the Bible so I just found these…

Sometimes the Bible SHOCKS us…

Seriously. I know some of you may not believe it. But, the Bible can evoke these emotions. I’ve seen it happen to others. It has happened to ME. 

I’ve realized one of the things I hope for my life is that I can make contagious my intrigue and excitement for the Bible. It is crazy awesome. Sometimes we struggle to read it, because it is SO OLD. But it is the story of our faith and where it came from. If you don’t understand, find some one to help you. You gotta read it. Nothing else is going to compel you to get up and do something with your faith. Another book might spark something for a little bit, but it will soon fade. We gotta read THIS book.

This blog is a tad juvenile… Okay it’s really juvenile… but I just realized this morning, that is something I want to initiate in others lives.

“You hold the matchless word of God in your hands. The battle is intense , and it cannot be fought with little thoughts in a devotional book or petty ideas from a preacher. It certainly cannot be fought with minds numbed by the constant drivel of entertainment on television, DVD’s, video games, and the Internet. If you and I are going to penetrate our culture and the cultures of the world with the Gospel, we desperately need our minds saturated with the word of God.” -David Platt

“Christians don’t simply learn or study or use Scripture; we assimilate it, take it into our lives in such a way that it gets metabolized into acts of love, cups of cold water, missions into all the world, healing and evangelism and justice in Jesus’ name, hands raised in adoration of the Father, feet washed in company with the Son.” -Eugene Peterson
