Because I can't do it by myself! <br /><br />So Lord, do change our concept, and also strengthen us to love Your Word!Sarahhttp://semyl.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523529897504577624.post-59624189692000417262011-09-28T08:24:54.256+01:002011-09-28T08:24:54.256+01:00I like this picture of Greenwich. As I was looking...I like this picture of Greenwich. As I was looking at it, I almost smelled London in winter the crisp air, the bundled up people, the rumbling cobblestone streets, the whole atmosphere and for a second I actually missed my time there. <br /><br />And amen, keep eating, feasting, enjoying...I just want to ask you, and your readers one thing, why is it possible for us to read hundreds of pages of literature, novels, newspapers, magazines etc, but when someone thinks of reading the bible it becomes a chore? Why is it so "amazing" when someone says they read 6-8 chapters in one day? depending on the chapters that's no more than 10 pages. the NT (in spanish because that's the one that is nearest to me) has 1368 pages, footnotes included. the two Spanish literature books sitting next to me combined have close to 500, and I am required to read them in a matter of one week. (We are reading through them slowly.) <br /><br />I would challenge you all, have a change of concept, IT IS NOT DIFFICULT to read through the NT in three months. IT IS NOT DIFFICULT to spend a year and read the whole bible, IT IS NOT DIFFICULT to read it multiple times during your high school years, and your college years, and even afterward. IT IS NOT DIFFICULT!<br /><br />Much grace to you all, keep eating, enjoying, loving and reading the Word of our Belovéd.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
