Opis

Amos 8:11 says, "Behold, the days are coming," declares the Lord God, "when I will send a famine on the land not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord." Professional surveys tell us that as few as one out of ten professing Christians in America have read the Bible. Can someone say he believes what the Bible says if he hasn't read it? Just as important, can we fulfill the Great Commission, making disciples and teaching them to observe all our Lord has commanded if we don't know what those commands are? "Point to Reading the Bible" is about relationships. Our faith is about our relationship with the Lord. Through the simple act of reading God's word with another, we build meaningful fellowship while assisting them in developing a relationship with the Bible. The disciple demonstrates obedience by reading and meditating on the Word. The disciple fulfills the Great Commission while increasing his own Bible knowledge. Unlike other books which explain WHY we should read the Bible, "PTR the Bible" starts from that premise and shows a very simple and enjoyable way to encourage the habit of Bible reading. The answer is found in true, one-to-one discipleship. Let us follow the message of the Bible and lovingly share our own love of Bible reading with another, thereby fulfilling the Great Commission.
