leather Bible cover

If you carry your Bible around a lot, invest in a leather Bible cover. In browsing around you can certainly begin to see the variety of beautiful Bible covers in both genuine and imitation leather. Some covers offer a pen or pencil holder and interior pockets to hold a notepad or handouts.

Bible covers are great to help ensure your bible stays bound and will improve the durability through the wear of everyday life.

Is Grandma Hard to Shop For?

Monday, August 25, 2008
large print Bibles

My grandmother celebrated her 88th birthday today, and as she gets older she takes more and more comfort from attending church and studying her Bible. As most elderly people do, however, it strains her eyes more and more to read.

Her special day made me think about large print Bibles as gifts for elderly Christians. Most elderly people I have known have been very difficult to shop for. I asked my grandmother what she wanted for her birthday, and she said what she always does: “Oh, I don’t need anything.” Now I realize, a large print Bible would have been a wonderful gift for her! Well, Christmas is coming…

Lacking Time to Read Your Bible

Wednesday, August 13, 2008

Do you find yourself running out of time to read your Bible? I have found that the Audio Bibles really help me solve that problem. As I’m driving down the road I just pop a CD in my CD player. I enjoy the New King James Version narrated by Stephen Johnson, but there are many other narrators. The readings are word-for-word as in the written Bible.

Why not enjoy hearing the Bible while you are on the go? Using the New King James Version is faithful to the accuracy and beauty of the King James Version. Hearing the New King James Version in the contemporary and understandable language will feed your soul with spiritual food no matter when or where you listen to God’s Word.

Feeling tired and need refreshment? God’s word in the New King James Version narration will refresh you as you listen and unwind from a hectic day.

God Has A Purpose for Your Life

Wednesday, July 23, 2008

bible-blog-image.jpg

The Bible reveals that God created human beings in His own image (Genesis 1:26 - 28). Whether or not you can believe this statement will depend on whether you can accept the never-ending evidence that the Bible is truly the word of God. According to Scripture, the Bible reveals that God created humans so they could learn to manage the earth (Genesis 1:26-28 and 2:15), and build character by learning to discern right from wrong (Genesis 2:16-17). In Genesis 2:18-24 God established the institutions of marriage and family. In the New Testament, Matthew 19:3-9, Ephesians 5:22-23, 6:1-4, 1 Timothy 2:8-15, and 1 Peter 3:1-7, God established the roles in marriage and revealed important guidelines so that these divinely ordained institutions would function smoothly and successfully.

The reason for the Biblical emphasis on learning to manage our own lives, and on functioning smoothly in marriage and family, is that we have been created to become members of God’s spiritual family as we can find in the scriptures of Romans 8:15-17, Hebrews 2:5-11, and 1John 3;1-3. If we qualify to become members of that spiritual family, we will reign with Jesus Christ when He returns to establish the Kingdom of God on earth as we read in Revelation 1:4-6 and 5:10. The Bible clearly reveals that we do not fly off to heaven when we die as explained in John 3:13, Acts 2:29 &34 and 13:36. When you understand what the Bible actually reveals about the purpose of life, you can begin to understand why the teachings of today’s ‘mainstream’ Christianity are not very satisfying or convincing.

Easy to Read Relavent for Today

Sunday, July 20, 2008

the-new-living-bible-autoresizeimg.png

With some translations, it is hard to understand what the message is, but it is not with the New Living Translation. The last time that I was studying the New Living Translation, I forgot that I was reading the Bible because it sounded to me as if some one was telling me a story in today’s language.

Another reason that I appreciate the New Living Bible is that, when I am online with the daily devotional, I stay on track with God’s Word as it feeds my soul with the Bread of Life.

I appreciate the New Living Bible because this translation speaks to me in my language. The translators that worked on this fresh and inviting Bible not only have been faithful to original texts, but they have brought the Living Word of God to us in yours and my language as we remember the poetry and power of the Scriptures from our childhood. As I read the New Living Translation, I find God as my Friend.
