At Southbrook Church we are HUGE on reading through the Bible. We’ll find a hundred and one creative ways to get you into God’s Word. We’ll sing songs that are taken right out of scripture, make mission statements and vision statements that are really Bible verses in disguise J anything! God’s Word is powerful and life changing and every believer needs to be immersed in it every day!
Look what Paul said to Timothy about the value of God’s Word:
“16Everything in the Scriptures is God’s Word. All of it is useful for teaching and helping people and for correcting them and showing them how to live.”
So it never ceases to amaze me how many places, people and publication Christ followers will go to before going to God’s Word. It’s the authority on life! Written by inspiration of God Himself. He shaped us, molded us, knit us together in our mother’s womb and knows better than anyone—period—how life is best lived. And the owner’s manual for life is His Word—the Bible.
And the book within the book containing short, pithy gems of wisdom for everyday life is Proverbs. Read it!
It’s got 31 chapters which makes it the ideal monthly reader. I challenge you to give it 31 straight days (a chapter a day) and see if it doesn’t take you to the next level for our great God!
