I’m lovin’ my new Bible

A couple of weeks again I bought a new ‘wide-margined’ Bible… I’ve always wanted one and finally got round to doing it… well I love it.  This week I’ve entered my first scribblings (as you can see) and just been enjoying the wonder of God’s Word afresh.  This week as I’ve read through the life of Elijah and Elisha, as well as the book of Colossians, I seen so many things ‘again’ or in a brand new and fresh way.  It’s been exciting to see things and even ‘hear’ God’s voice through His word.

I’d love to hear from you if you’ve been seeing new or fresh things from God’s Word in the last couple of weeks.  Why don’t you let me know what you have got out of the greatest book you own?  As you share what you’re learning… maybe we can all learn together and get a buzz not only from the joy of learning but from the truth itself.

I can’t wait to hear from you.

How lucky are you?

There are approximately 6733 languages in the world today.  371 have the whole Bible, 960 have the New Testament.  902 have a scripture portion, 1500 in progress and 3000 with nothing – that’s about 250 million people with nothing.  So if you’ve got a Bible in your language, your pretty blessed… but the question is, do you appreciate that fact???

The picture below shows me reading the Bible in Sudan… where I was doing some teaching.  I taught approximately 100 pastors, only 10 of whom had Bibles… makes ya think!!
