Cliff’s Notes for the Bible?
Would you like to have a better understanding of the Bible? Have you ever felt intimidated when discussing the Bible? Do you have trouble finding the time to read the Bible cover to cover? If going from Genesis to Revelation seems like too big a commitment, here’s another option to consider.

Read the Word of God and grow in your relationship with Him. There is no substitute for spending time in God’s Word, the Bible. In Romans 10 Paul writes that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. The Bible is God’s revealed truth to us as His people. If you want to know the God of all creation better, you must read His Word! I want to encourage you to spend time every day in the Bible and in prayer. Prayer is basically talking to God. What we sometimes do is pray and ask God to do this or that in our lives, but we neglect to read the Bible and listen to God Speak to us through His word. I love you and pray that you will begin a relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ! If you have become a Christian and are not growing in your faith, then begin a daily Bible study. I promise that if you are in the Bible daily, you will find yourself looking at everything in a new light–God’s light! May the Lord of all creation bless and keep you! BJ
