From Pastor John and Sis. Ruth
We want to encourage you that Holy Spirit desires to speak to you through the Word of God. It is not beyond your reach or ability to read and understand God’s Word. Our prayer for you is that as you grow in the Lord that a hunger for His Word develops and that you gain confidence that God will indeed speak to your heart. Jesus told us that the Holy Spirit would lead us and remind us what Jesus said. The Word keeps us from error, encourages us, teaches us, corrects us, renews our mindset, and draws us close to God. The journey of reading His Word is an exciting one. There have been times in history when the average person has not had access to the Word of God. Indeed there are some countries in our day where reading the Word is dangerous because of oppressive regimes. We are privileged to have ready access. This is a doable commitment. Each Monday through Friday we will be reading a passage of the New Testament and by December 31 2011 you will have read it completely. We love the Old Testament too and encourage you to read it on the weekend….and next year it will be in our daily reading. When we read the Word we give the Holy Spirit room to speak to us. Take the Challenge…start and finish the journey with us in this New Year. It is like brushing your teeth. If you commit to making it habit soon you won’t want to leave the house without doing it.
