Hi [subscriber:firstname | default:subscriber],
|
|
Here's a thought, a quote, and a resource I wanted to share with you this Thursday.
|
|
|
|
|
Someone said that the secret to J.I. Packer’s life is that he “lived slowly enough to think deeply about God.”
|
|
I’m finding myself rushed even in lockdown. But some of the best things only come as we slow down enough to receive them.
|
|
|
|
Singing.
Handshakes.
Laughing.
Hugs.
Family.
Friends.
People.
|
Have you noticed how
everything we want back
has nothing to do with
‘things’?
|

|
I try to read the Bible at least once a year, but this approach doesn’t work for everyone. My wife, for instance, likes to go slower and deeper. Both approaches have strengths and weaknesses.
|
I know a lot of resources that cover how to read the Bible in a year or two, but I don’t know many that deal with how to read it slowly. A new book called How to Eat Your Bible helps to solve that problem. It gives a seven-year reading plan (!) that allows you to read the Old Testament 15 times and the New Testament 30 times over the course of 7 years.
|
|
If you are interested in going slower and deeper in your Bible reading, it’s worth checking out.
