The Book.

God's heart of love gave us His Book, the Bible so we can learn about Him and His plans and His ways. It's not a mystery book! The greatest intellect that ever was or will be inspired every word, and He wants you to understand it. This site is designed to help you do just that, understand what God is saying in His Book.

But you have a role to play here because He doesn't give you understanding in pill form or in an IV. So, look around and begin to explore some of these resources for yourself.

But first, pray. Ask the Author to communicate His wisdom through His Book....straight to you. He sends His Spirit to help, so be encouraged!

First things first....

Want to understand the Bible? It's possible.God wants you to understand it; that's why He gave it to us. A few steps might make this easier and more meaningful for you.

First step: Talk to the Author.

Father, Thank you for your Book. You didn't have to communicate with us so clearly, but I'm glad You did. Please help me now as I open it and read. I need to know Your heart, Your mind and not be led by my own ideas and thoughts. Please send your Spirit to guide and teach me now. In Jesus' name, Amen

Coincidences

An elderly Episcopal priest was asked, "Do you believe in coincidences?"

He paused thoughtfully before answering. "I don't know. I just know that if I pray, coincidences happen. If I don't pray, they don't happen."
