Top Highlights

• That summer I read Philippians. Every day. All summer. It was the first time I could remember enjoying the Bible consistently for a long period. Thank you, Bruce. I am forever grateful.
• Isn’t the goal of a relationship to know someone, not know about them?
• Oh, how our time in the Bible would change if we kept the friendship front and center. If our time in God’s Word were primarily relational instead of informational, it would have a significantly higher probability of being transformational!
• But the context of that information is the relationship. The umbrella under which all that information sits is the relationship.
• And yet, so often, that is how I tend to view God. When I pick up the Bible, I am supposed to learn something, get corrected, be inspired, or read some comforting words. Of course there are days when these things happen. But hear this clearly: Sometimes God wants you to pick up His Word and just enjoy the read.
