However, every night the kids get a bedtime story, whatever they choose, so right after that I read a chapter outloud with them, and then I read mine in their room until they are asleep. I have read more of my bible over the past year this way then I have in the last 8 years. Thank God, I seem to understand it better now then 8 years ago also.striving...https://www.blogger.com/profile/02396480726008048950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-1167489885425341722006-12-30T06:44:00.000-08:002006-12-30T06:44:00.000-08:00Vintage Spurgeon. thanks.Vintage Spurgeon. thanks.erik raymondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03436943971288882309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-1167488824249415842006-12-30T06:27:00.000-08:002006-12-30T06:27:00.000-08:00There is dust enough on some of your Bibles to wri...<I>There is dust enough on some of your Bibles to write "damnation" with your fingers. </I><BR/><BR/>Whoa.

Thanks be to God for Jesus Christ. Thanks that Bible reading, as essential as it is, is not a law, required to merit us salvation. <BR/><BR/>Reverential Bible reading is so rare these days, and I don't see it getting any better. The visual age and dumbing down of education have seen to that. <BR/><BR/>Thus, when I preach, I recognize that this may be the only Bible some people are going to get that week, so I approach the task with fear and trembling. That's why we must continue to hold up expository preaching! It is needed now more than ever. The laid back, afraid-of-inerrancy style of so many is short-changing the people. The "let's be pals" method is a train wreck for the church. As MacArthur is making clear over on Pulpit, standing up for Truth and fundamental doctrine is the essence of our task.James Scott Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641370124346172648noreply@blogger.com
