The Living Book

We need every word God speaks
Read the Bible as if God is speaking to you today! In other words, personalize what you read. That theme keeps coming back in my first book Sacred Sabbath. The Bible may be an old book, but it is the only book that is truly alive, simply because God inspired it. God's spirit is in it! That is why we can apply old principles, sayings, wisdom, or teachings from the Bible in our life today, and they will still work! The Bible only works if we work it. Just reading the Word won't change anything, we must use it. Jesus says in Matthew 4:4 Man cannot live on bread alone, but needs evey word that God speaks. Note that Jesus says we NEED every word that God speaks. Jesus used the Word, He lived the Word, He fulfilled the Word. In doing so He has set an example for His followers. Don't just read the Word, don't just talk about it. LIVE it, use it, fulfill it!
