Are you still a baby Christian? I was. Then I started reading the Word of God.
Hebrews 5:12-14 New King James Version (NKJV)
Spiritual Immaturity
12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. 14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.A Christian who has not read the Bible is a baby, unknowing of evil and far too defenseless before it.
If you are a Christian who has never read the Bible, then take the time to read Ephesians 6:10-20. It is about spiritual warfare; it describes the whole armor of God. Note in particular verse 17. It speaks of the sword of the spirit? What is the sword of the spirit? If you don’t know, please take the time to find out.
In Christ’s name, we each can become a warrior, one who stands on the truth of the Gospel.
Yep, I’m going to grant them a point with this little meme. Congratulations, evangelizing atheists, you scored a hit! You totally sunk my battleship.
Just keep in mind that while the Titanic is so melodramatically sinking, I actually have Someone to sing praises to while the violins play and people are busy rearranging deck chairs….
So, the Christians are completely without excuse here, too. People actually died, they gave their very lives so that everyday, ordinary people in the modern world, could have free, unrestricted access to bibles of their very own.
There are many versions available, too. I prefer the KJV…..but I also kind of enjoy the Passion Bible, too. Regardless, they all pretty much capture the same concepts, although some are better than others. If you can’t really read, you can actually have the bible read to you by this guy with a wonderful Scottish brogue. I kid…

I agree people do need to read the Bible. I would go one step further, read it first before you go to any church. Then once you have read it start reaching out.

Not bad advice. Kind of difficult to choose a Bible based church if we don’t actually know what the Bible says.

Reading and absorbing the verses in a quiet meditative environment is without a doubt the best way to read, relate, and absorb the messages.
I have no objection to people who listen to credible oral presentations of the Bible verses to remind them while working on tasks alone. It can be more comforting than listening to music, especially some of the modern verses of so-called music in our contemporary world.
Of course, one has to consider the source.
Regards and good will blogging.
