On my desk today…..

January 24, 2012 in Bible, Books, church, God, Jesus, what did you read today with 10 Comments

Joe Thorn’s book “Note To Self” has really challenged me so far this week – get it super cheap here

Spurgeon’s Morning & Evening……….eh? I remember when I first started working in ‘Christian bookselling,’ I had this regular customer who would buy loads of this book and always tell me how precious it was……….I thought maybe he was a bit of a wing-nut due to the over emphasising of how ‘precious’ this book was………………..however, he was/is right! I actually used the word ‘precious’ when describing it to a friend recently! It is pure gold…..

and, Tom Wright is going to aid me with the book of James…………[maybe]

Aside from these ongoing reads, today I read Genesis 25, Matthew 24, Esther 1 and Acts 24…..

January 23, 2012 in Bible, God, Jesus, what did you read today with 13 Comments

That question will be popping up a wee bit this year…….

I am referring to the Bible when I ask ‘What did you read today?’

Ironically, I haven’t read anything yet today so………

Seriously though, I told our small group last week that if we grasp nothing else in 2012, besides passionately and enthusiastically seeking God through His Word…………… then that will do for me!

Because, I am sick of conversations and discussions about God only knows what “christian-ese” subjects we think we are an authority on…………………………..some of us think we are really smart and perhaps in some worldly worthless sense we are……………………but, If I tell you I am a Christian and I only sporadically open the Bible [once a week] and, do not seek after His wisdom and His counsel within its pages regularly [daily] then…………you can throw the other stuff in the scrap-heap and call me stupid!

And you actually can call me stupid because I have done this, over and over……….like today! Oh the irony!

Imagine if a few of us commented here or on facebook/twitter and shared what we had read? Imagine if we encouraged each other to read and seek and be changed? Imagine if we used social media/blogging to do this one Go[o]d thing in 2012……….

So, what did you read today?

“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4v12
