OPEN a Bible. Get a scribing tool, called a pen or a pencil. With your own hand writing, write down any bible verse. While U are @ it, recall how our system has letters and numbers on the SAME keypad. in other words, your words are MATHEMATICAL. Recall how Heb. 4:12 says,"The word of God is ALIVE." Gods Word shall not return to him void. Is. 55:10,11. So while you can, just do it. WAKE up your Spiritual Body, spoken of in 1 Cor. 15:44. Do all of this, while you can.<br />loverofyahshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316550716760876469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020417.post-78107501606151479962014-01-28T23:10:53.181-06:002014-01-28T23:10:53.181-06:00"The truth is, you can read the bible every s..."The truth is, you can read the bible every single day and not be bible-minded at all."

I think you would re-consider your broad-brush statement because there many. I agree that a considerable churches of varying denominations (and independent) have fallen into the pit of "style and show" instead of substance, but this is not the case for many.

A thought: not only do we dedicate significant time to public reading of Scripture, much of our liturgy and many of our hymns either quote Scripture directly or draw their imagery from it. My confirmands were amazed at the latent Scripture they discovered when we went through a service and identified the different verses within the liturgical music and the hymns.

I'm a life-long Lutheran who still claims that name because good old Martin himself didn't conform, he reformed ... and that's what the church cries out for again today. There are a lot of us "post-modern" Christians out here, who have shifted from a literal Biblical view to a relationship with God/Christ that frees us to love one another as Jesus taught.

Because our pastors don't just whip out passages of scripture in their sermons and make everyone open to page thus and so of their pew bibles. You rarely see Lutherans reading the Bible in book form in worship like that, and that fooled him.Matthew Frosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10232613079168523464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020417.post-88913434101121621722014-01-25T01:08:01.295-06:002014-01-25T01:08:01.295-06:00Great article.
