SCRIPTURE

Hey fam,

I know it has been a really long time since we last updated this blog...it was not out of design so I pray you forgive us. By His grace (as is the name of this blog) we hope to be a little more active starting this month. We are hoping to put up a post at least once every month for our edification and growth...and this will begin in the next couple of days. Meanwhile here is a quote on scripture:

"Scripture is a paradise of trees of life, which brings forth fruits every month, and the leaves for medicine. It is a shower of heavenly bread and a cellar full of oil vessels whereby all our necessities may be provided. It is a pantry of wholesome food against moldy traditions, a pharmacist's shop against poisoned heresies; a code of profitable laws against a rebellious spirit; a treasure of costly jewels against beggarly rudiments, a foundation of most pure water springing up into everlasting life." Anonymous

The scripture is central to the life of every Christian, the early Christians showed this by continuing "steadfastly in the apostles' teaching" (Acts 2:42).. and further the apostles also gave themselves continually "to the ministry of the word" (Acts 6:4). This just goes to show the centrality of the scriptures in a Christians life.

May I, therefore, encourage you to spend more time reading the word of God and practicing it. May His grace continually abound on your life.

Grace and peace
