Today's is from Shane Claiborne's. In the introduction he writes,. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). So, I tried pos...

It's not about me. Tuesday, June 24, 2008. I just call him. Searching For God Knows What. Thursday, June 19, 2008. It's not about me. When I read the Bible, I believe it ought to affect the way I live. So, when I read, I leave with a new plan to live out the scripture in some way. I think it is a serious problem when reading God's word points directly back to me. Certainly, I ought to be changed by reading it; we are called to. But if I read. What do I come away thinking? Love the LORD our God. But his d...

it's not about me: April 2008
http://manybellsdown.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
It's not about me. Monday, April 21, 2008. The Power of God's Word. I am reminded constantly of the importance the Bible plays in my everyday life. To be honest, God has brought me to a place where I am dependent upon daily interaction with his word. I was reminded again this morning by a friend how amazing it is that we can have a book that is entirely designed by God. In Romans 1:16, Paul writes,. For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.

http://manybellsdown.blogspot.com/2008/07/fire-and-brimstone.html
It's not about me. Saturday, July 19, 2008. In reading John Piper's. Don't Waste Your Life. I was introduced to an old friend from history class in high school, Mr. "Great Awakening", Jonathan Edwards. Turns out, the history books give him a bad reputation, and so far, I would call it undeserved. In reading some of Jonathan Edward's writing today I was directed to God's beauty and glory and what it means to truly live for him more than I have been by many other authors. Not to spend to much time in think...

It's not about me. Thursday, May 29, 2008. Lord, you have been our dwelling place. Before the mountains were brought forth,. Or ever you formed the earth and the world,. From everlasting to everlasting you are God. Moses suggests here that God is our dwelling place and not the earth that we live on temporarily. (.
