About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"DO YOU READ YOUR BIBLE DAILY?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
DO YOU READ YOUR BIBLE DAILY?
IF YOU HAVE EVER WONDERED WHY I AM ALWAYS TRYING TO GET EVERYONE TO READ THEIR BIBLE, IT IS BECAUSE, AS YOU CHRISTIANS KNOW, IT IS GOD'S WORD. THIS IS THE WAY HE COMMUNICATES WITH US AND TELLS US OF HIS PROMISES AND RULES ON HOW TO LIVE OUR LIVES. I KNOW SOME OF YOU CHRISTIANS ARE GOING TO GET UPSET WITH ME BUT I HAVE PRAYED ABOUT THIS AND I FEEL THIS IS WHAT THE LORD HAS LED ME TO WRITE. I DON'T SEE HOW YOU, AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, CAN GO ALL WEEK NOT COMMUNICATING WITH JESUS BY READING YOUR BIBLE AND PRAYING AND GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY AND THINK THAT THIS IS ENOUGH. ENOUGH FOR WHAT? HOW CAN YOU GET UP EVERY MORNING AND NOT TELL JESUS GOOD MORNING AND NOT READ YOUR BIBLE. DO YOU TELL HIM THAT YOU LOVE HIM AND THANK HIM FOR PROTECTING YOU THROUGH THE NIGHT?
NOW WHEN YOU RUN INTO TROUBLE OR SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS IN YOUR LIFE, OH, NOW YOU WILL FIND YOUR BIBLE AND FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM. AND, YOU EXPECT HIM TO JUMP RIGHT IN THERE AND TAKE CARE OF WHAT YOU HAVE GOTTEN YOURSELF INTO OR WHAT HAS HAPPENED. PLEASE LORD OPEN THEIR EYES TO SEE WHAT JOY THEY ARE MISSING FROM NOT GETTING INTO YOUR WORD EVERY DAY. HE TELLS US IN MATTHEW 11:29 "learn of me" AND HOW CAN YOU LEARN OF HIM WITHOUT READING YOUR BIBLE? I DON'T MEAN TO BE TOUGH IN MY MESSAGE BUT I DO IT BECAUSE, AS I SAID, I BELIEVE JESUS WANTED ME TO AND ALSO BECAUSE I LOVE ALL OF YOU AND I KNOW WHAT IT WOULD MEAN IN YOUR LIVES.
IF YOU HAVE NEVER READ THE HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH BIBLE, YOU SHOULD. I WOULD SUGGEST YOU GO ON GOOGLE AND PUT IN "HISTORY OF THE BIBLE" AND READ IT. IT GIVES THE HIGHLIGHTS OF WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT IN THIS MESSAGE. IT WILL GIVE YOU AN INSIGHT ON HOW HARD PEOPLE WORKED AND WHAT THEY HAD TO SACRIFICE TO GET IT TO US. IT IS VERY INTERESTING AND SHOCKING AT THE SAME TIME.
WE HAVE IT SO EASY HERE IN AMERICA WHERE WE CAN READ OUR BIBLES WITHOUT HAVING TO HIDE IN FEAR THAT WE WILL BE CAUGHT AND PUT TO DEATH. THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD. THESE PEOPLE ARE SO HUNGRY FOR GOD'S WORD THAT THEY RISK IT ALL BECAUSE OF THEIR LOVE FOR JESUS. JUST THINK WHAT AMERICA WOULD BE LIKE IF ALL CHRISTIANS IN AMERICA LOVED JESUS AS MUCH AS THESE PEOPLE DO AND REALLY PRAYED FOR THIS COUNTRY. THE SAD THING IS THAT WE CAN DO THIS RIGHT NOW WITHOUT FEAR OF BEING PUT TO DEATH AND SOME DON'T PRAY OR READ THEIR BIBLE. BEWARE, IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING SOON, IT MIGHT COME TO US HAVING TO HIDE JUST TO READ OUR BIBLES. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE THAT.
I WOULD CHALLENGE YOU TO READ THE HISTORY OF THE BIBLE. I DON'T THINK YOU WILL TAKE IT SO LIGHTLY ANYMORE. A LOT OF GOOD PEOPLE DIED SO WE CAN SIT AND READ GOD'S WORD. THIS IS WHAT THE BIBLE IS ALL ABOUT, LOVE. THOSE PEOPLE HAD TO REALLY LOVE GOD AND, IN PART, LOVE US TOO, TO GIVE US A BIBLE WE CAN READ IN OUR OWN LANGUAGE. OPEN YOUR BIBLE TODAY AND SEE WHAT JESUS HAS TO SAY TO YOU. YOU JUST MIGHT BE SURPRISED AND I KNOW YOU WILL ENJOY TALKING WITH HIM AND HEARING WHAT HE HAS TO SAY TO YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
