Reading Scripture

CHALLENGE:  If you are a Christian, read it from COVER to COVER!  It will give you exactly what you need to GROW in Christ.

 

If you are not a Christian, read it from COVER to COVER!  It has the power to change your heart forever.

 

Scripture is like GOLD.

—There are over two hundred passages in the Old Testament which prophesied about Christ, and every one of them has come true.

—God didn't give the world two different Bibles; they are one, and must be believed from back to back, from Genesis to Revelations, or not at all.

—I haven't found the first man who ever read the Bible from back to back carefully who remained an infideL My friends, the Bible of our mothers and fathers is true.

—The Word of God may be darkened to the natural man, but the way of Salvation is wiitten so plain, that the little child six years old can understand it if she will.

—Set more and more store by the Bible. Then troubles in your Chirstian life will pass away like a morning cloud. You will feed and live on the Word of God, and it will become the joy of your soul.

—There are dark and mysterious things in the Bible now, but when you begin to trust Christ your eyes will be opened and the Bible will be a new book to you. It will become the Book of books to you.

—If you will show me a Bible Christian living on the Word of God, I will show you a joyful man. He is mounting up all the time. He has got new truths that lift him up over every obstacle, and he mounts over difficulties higher and higher, like a man I once heard of who had a bag of gas fastened on either side, and if he just touched the ground with his foot, over a wall or a hedge he would go; and so these truths make us so light that we bound over every obstacle.

PRAYER THROUGH SCRIPTURE

Pray that the church stays true to God’s message – and we proclaim it whether or not it’s convenient.

Proclaim the message; persist in it whether convenient or not; rebuke, correct, and encourage with great patience and teaching.

– 2 Timothy 4:2

 

Pray that the church would be deeply committed to seeking God in prayer.

Devote yourselves to prayer; stay alert in it with thanksgiving.

– Colossians 4:2

 

Pray that the church will boldly share Jesus — the ONLY way and ONLY hope!

There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people, and we must be saved by it.

– Acts 4:12

 

Pray that the church will worship, adore and praise God, in spirit and in truth.

God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.

– John 4:24

Pray for the church leaders to follow Christ, and serve humbly. Pray for protection of their witness and example.

Shepherd God’s flock among you, not overseeing out of compulsion but freely, according to God’s will; not for the money but eagerly; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.

– 1 Peter 5:2-3

 

Pray for the church’s dedication and perseverance to press believers onto maturity in discipleship.

We proclaim Him, warning and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ. I labor for this, striving with His strength that works powerfully in me.

– Colossians 1:28-29

 

Pray for more servants to join Jesus in His Kingdom work.

Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”

Pray that church leaders prepare and equip believers for service.

And He personally gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, for the training of the saints in the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ.

– Ephesians 4:11-12

 

Pray that the church clings to its first love.

But I have this against you: You have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember then how far you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. Otherwise, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place–unless you repent.

– Revelation 2:4-5

 

Pray that the church will trust Jesus to grow the church, in His way and in His power.

And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the forces of Hades will not overpower it.

- Matthew 16:18

Pray that the church looks after the needy.

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

- James 1:27
