Bible - least-read bestseller of all time

2 Timothy 3:14-17

14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

The Bible is a remarkable book. Millions of copies are bought each year. It has been the number-one bestseller for decades. But tragically, the Bible is said to be the least-read bestseller of all time.

The apostle Paul taught that the Scriptures are given to us by God and are capable of bringing about transformation in those who take it seriously (2 Timothy 3:16). Evangelist and preacher D. L. Moody said, "The Scriptures were not given to increase our knowledge but to change our lives."

So why do we often neglect this source of transforming power? Writer and professor J. I. Packer said, "If I were the devil, one of my first aims would be to stop folk from digging into the Bible."


Do you use your Bible every day until it eventually falls apart? Bible teacher Alan Redpath advised believers to "wreck" a Bible every 10 years. Here's why: God wants to speak to us through the Bible, telling us how to live for Him and answering crucial questions. Through it He warns us about the dangers of sin and provides us with nourishing spiritual food.


Don't neglect your Bible. If you do, you will neglect your own spiritual health. —Joanie Yoder

Ang Aking New Christmas Layout

Wala lang.. Gusto ko lang baguhin uli ang layout ng aking blog dahil sabihin natin na gusto kong sumabay sa season. Hehe. Gusto ko lang na parang maging greeting card ang header ng blog ko at sana ay naging successful ako sa paggawa. Pasensya na at hindi talaga ako creative na designer so suffer muna kayo.. : ) Colors: Dapat Red and Green pero bakit Magenta at Lavander itech? Wala lang rin lang po. Actually sa dami ng mga blog templates na pinagpilian ko..wala akong choice kung hindi gamitin na lang template na ito..ito lang kasi yung medyo akma dun sa naiisip kong design. Maraming ok tlaga.
