Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
There are hundreds of books, thousands of Bible studies, and infinite opinions on the topic of spiritual growth, all filled with wonderful insight and help on how to grow in your relationship with Jesus. I've read and listened to dozens and dozens over the years and they've helped me a lot.
I'd like to share one with you that trumps them all. Ready?
READ YOUR BIBLE EVERY SINGLE DAY.
We all know we should read the Bible regularly -- everyday -- but for some reason we don't. When we don't, we short-change ourselves from yet another opportunity to grow in our relationship with Jesus.
Even if you have to put that other book down, turn off the radio, set aside that Bible study, it's worth it. Make reading your Bible every day a priority.
On our web site is a "Through the Year" Bible reading guide. There are many out there, so if this one doesn't work for you, find another and follow it; so that daily, you're in the Word and growing in grace.
Blessings,
Pastor Ed

Amen, amen, and amen once again... You have hit a very sore spot with me. I have been the person talked about; the person they all pointed their wee li'l fingers at. I was the one that left the church for that very reason and have encountered this at several churches that I have gone to, and now, as I sit at my computer desk, I can watch all the people that pointed their fingers go by and know that I still have a great church to go to. Its on the Internet -- its Calvary Chapel Aurora :). Thank you, Pastor Ed. You have helped me alot and your devotionals are great. I'm getting ready to watch some of the testimonies that you all have. God bless you and your church. Tell 'em thank you for allowing me to be a part of your church. God's love and peace to all of you.
