Read
the Bible in a year |
Today's Bible reading is Romans 1- 3
|
If you have ever thought about reading the entire
Bible then here is your chance to take up the challenge. The Bible
is not a single narrative written by one person, as we understand
books today. Think of the Bible as a library. It is a collection
of prophecies, histories, prayers, parables and teaching written
down over many centuries. The writings that were considered the
most sacred and thoses that were mostly used by the Jews and later
the Christians were brought together in what we now know as the
Bible.

Christmas beckons It is inevitable! Christmas has started. The shops and adverts on the television seem to get earlier each year. Probably because we need more time to prepare as we buy more and more things for our nearest and dearest. However, this year might be different for a lot more people than usual because of the so called Credit Crunch. You may have heard it said before, but the real message of Christmas is that Jesus came to liberate those who were suffering and encourage those who felt that life had dealt them a raw deal. God loves each one of us and wants us to prosper, not in a material way but in a fulfilling way. Sometimes Christmas as we know it obscures this fact: God loves you and can change your life. | | God loves you...yes, you
Loving God, help me to remember that the you love me without reservation. I do not need to earn your love. Amen.
