I enjoy my small group bible study and we are now thinking of books and devotions and learning opportunities – we have read thru one book (Jesus Calling, a great resource) a few times – and are currently reading some of a book on the Holy Spirit – and in our recent conversations, we talked about learning the bible more. So after the conversation I was immediately next to these books and pamphlets for “Bible Overview” and Bible stories and how we got to the bible – from Rose Publishers- with copies on my bed stand… And as I put them out to take a photo for my group, I realized they made a nice cross image together. Ah – and that is my point too – our sharing is our cross to bear – sometimes it is subtle and sometimes it is seriously stark strong sharing… It has to be SINCERE in any way…
I think that since I both thirsted/thirst for the knowledge of the bible as well as now feel the need to SHARE this Good News in a way that works for my personality and that I didn’t know the bible but now that I do – well wow – it’s a mission need to share – because people ASK – and some people have no idea – and many people wonder and a few people assume and sadly too many people doubt. But there IS HOPE in these bible passages. Knowledge of this Bible breadth and breath of knowledge – that we can share – the scriptures whether short and long in this handy dandy book that people can pick up – we find there are BOTH sound bite sized hopes to hold and life-sized and life-saved wholes to behold – to become more whole…
Yeah – the Bible – SHARE it for SURE…
SHARE – make folks AWARE – SHARE and even have an extra bible to SPARE – YES, yes we do DARE – we DARE because we CARE…
We SHARE the Bible for SURE – the Bible for SHARE…
AMEN –
We share the Word to share – not to profit in any way… Paul to the Corinthians 2nd 2:14-17 NKJV “But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task? Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.”
and PS – there are lots of great “trinket”-sized paper and sticker and bracelet and magnet items to share too – imagine that I just bought a new fridge for $$$ delivered – but on it could add an inexpensive maybe a $1 scripture to remind of being DELIVERED by Jesus.
No longer do we want that knowledge RARE – yeah – DARE to SHARE to make AWARE – make the fridges no longer bare – SHARE… Amen
