The word of God is living and active.

Sharper than any double-edged sword,

it penetrates even to dividing

soul and spirit, joints and marrow;

it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Heb 4:12-13(NIV)

Greetings in the Mighty Name of the Lord,

As you start this New Year, please remember that the Bible is a remarkable book, a revelation of God to all who would dare to read and believe. It is not just any book, or another book; it is The Book! Throughout its pages we see men and women who are confronted by the reality of a Creator God who not only knows them intimately, but also loves them infinitely. The Word of God leaves us not untouched, but dares to transform all who would venture a journey through its sacred pages.

Charles Colson, once a criminal and self-proclaimed reprobate, says of this remarkable book,

"The BIBLE -- banned, burned, beloved. More widely read, more frequently attacked than any other book in history. Generations of intellectuals have attempted to discredit it, dictators of every age have outlawed it and executed thosewho read it. Yet soldiers carry it into battle believing it more powerful than their weapons. Fragments of it smuggled into solitary prison cells have transformed ruthless killers into gentle saints"

Dare to Believe that God Himself has a transforming journey in mind for you this day. Join us as we read through the Bible in a year, with a plan that includes Old & New Testament reading each and every day.

Enjoy the Journey!
