Why Read the Bible

This may sound like an odd question
when so many reject its message
but its been with us for so long
keeps prodding no matter our age

God is its original divine author
with His supernatural pen, He did write
all these 66 books within are holy scripture
everyone that's read it felt its bite

So many say they don't believe it
but have they actually seriously read
this book penned from God's spirit
tells all that God has said

For this Bible brings transformation
to all who believe its promises within
all who are touched are not the same
it tells how to kill off their sin

History one day will reveal
the purpose God planned before time
that His own word is sufficient
to meet everyone with perfect rhyme

Panagiota Romios Date: 10/28/2022 3:57:00 PM Hello again, Gordon,! My old religion is mostly dogma, thus I never learned the Bible till 20 years ago. And was awake reading Scropture till 3 am last night. To the doubters? There is nothing to say but encourage others, Huggs, Pangie Login to Reply Gordon Mcconnell Date: 10/29/2022 3:44:00 AM Thanks Pangie, nice of you to drop in again, one can never read the scriptures too much with a keen eye. Hope you're having a blessed weekend,blessings, Gordon

Brandy Nicole Date: 10/22/2022 7:44:00 PM The "Bible brings transformation." Yes, it does, and my heart rejoices knowing this truth. You must leave things in context, while studying, to truly understand what God is saying. This is both beautiful and inspiring, my dear friend. Your thoughts are so uplifting. Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Hugs, Brandy Login to Reply Brandy Nicole Date: 10/23/2022 4:51:00 PM You're very welcome, Gordon. It seems like Covid is coming back again.

Judy Ball Date: 10/20/2022 4:57:00 PM Excellent Gordon. We read to get to know who and what God is. The more you read the more you learn, the more you learn the more you know, the more you know the more you hunger to read more. It's pretty good stuff. Thanks for this. Going into my faves. And thanks so much for your prayer. We can use all we can get.

Jeff Kyser Date: 10/16/2022 1:14:00 PM Hey Gordon, it can be a difficult read without some good study notes that provide context for each book. Some stand alone pretty well, others are harder to penetrate. There is some amazing stuff in those pages to be sure! Good thoughts.
