Hello, Hello, Can You Hear Me, I Can't Hear You

What would happen if you treated your Bible like you do your cell phone?

What if you:
carried it around in your purses or pockets
flipped through it several times a day
turned back to go get it if you forgot it
used it to receive messages from the text
treated it like you couldn't live without it
gave it to your kids as gifts
used it when you traveled and in case of emergency
got a different version every couple of years when your old one wore out

The Bible allows us to communicate in a way we never thought possible with the Author of the Universe, our Creator. By reading the Word, we gain more than just the power of “a network”. Everything else fails in comparison. Unlike a cell phone, we don't have to worry about the Bible being disconnected. There is no two year contract or monthly fee because Jesus already paid the bill in full. Take along your Bible and see for yourself. Hearing is believing.

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Matthew 7:24

Sis. Buxton, I have truly longed for more and more of HIM of late. I respect your years of ministry and covet your prayers for more of HIM in my life.
