There is only one place that tells us about God and about what we should believe. The bible. Of course this is also true of Bible-based preaching. We know this and yet we neglect to read our Bibles. How foolish we are! Set aside some time every day to read and meditate upon your Bible. Don't be content with just a few verses, read large portions so that you can see the context of the smaller passages. This is the best way to increase your spiritual well-being. Doing this will gain you no merit in itself, but as you ponder on what you read and invite the Holy Spirit to interpret the word to you, you will grow in Christ and grow nearer to him. May God bless you as you do this.
Every time I take a few days off from my blog my ratings slump. Very rarely do people go back into my old posts and read again. This is a typical attitude of the human heart, always wanting something different. At this time of year we should not be greedily wondering want new thing we will be getting for Christmas. Instead we should be looking at the old, old story, which is ever new of a baby who amazingly was God incarnate, God's gift to those who will put there trust in this one who was to grow up to give His life for His people. Set aside the controversy over whether December 25th is the actual date of His birth.(Shepherds do not keep their sheep out at night in Israel in December.) and set aside time to think about the fact that He did come and ponder if He came to set you free and if your answer is ,"Yes," He will make you free indeed.
