A Changed Life Requires New Priorities

How I came to love the Bible - not as a mere book - it has the power to change lives, to change communities, to change the world. So what is the Bible and what should we be doing with it? It is part of God's revelation - it offers more than information; it offers energy for the task to which God is calling his people. In reading the Bible it is important to understand role of Old and New Testaments. Scripture is useful for teaching, reproof, correction, training in righteousness so that we may be proficient, equipped for every good work. Three basic responses to God's word (Nehemiah)understanding, rejoicing in the word, obeying the word. Learn to love the Bible!
