WE ARE TRYING TO CREATE SPACE FOR THE ENTRANCE OF THE WORD.----Sometimes it feels we are living in a constant state of noise and distraction -- our world, the news cycle, social media, entertainment, technology, politics, churches, school, friends, and busy-ness of home life.----IT'S LIKE TRYING TO LIGHT A FIRE IN A WHIRLWIND.----We need to create space of stillness so that we can meditate on the Word.----During combat, there are times when you need to create a perimeter to give your group breathing space.----We are similarly in a war where the enemy of our souls is hard at work to disable or weaken every believer, to weaken the entire efforts of the kingdom.----WE'RE CREATING A PERIMETER.----Why one hour per chapter-- To force us to slow down and learn to meditate.----Either you can quickly get to the end of the chapter and stare at the blank page, or you can read slower, and re-read, meditate, and contemplate, chew, digest, and glean. This takes time. The Bible is not fast food.----READ WITH ME.----You're not meant to be reading what's on the screen. Think of us sitting together in what used to be called a -Reading Room.- I'll read my Bible. You read your Bible. We just happen to be reading the same chapter at the same time. If it helps you to stay focused - great- I'll be doing this LIVE each night at around 10-30pm EST on SermonAudio, YouTube, Facebook. Read with me-----This is a clip from this VLOG---sermonaudio.com-sermon-13122945216473
