"We need a Re-Bible!"

Last night after our Evening Prayer Service I listened to a great sermon by Dr. Stephen Davey. Dr. Davey has a radio ministry called Wisdom For the Heart. His text was one of my favorite in the Bible, Nehemiah chapter 8. After rebuilding the wall the returning exiles rediscovered the Book, the Word of God. Dr. Davey told the story of an African convert trying his best to write in English to an English friend. He wanted to tell his friend and brother in Christ that his village was experiencing revival. When his English speaking friend read the letter he noticed a completely understandable yet very appropriate "slip of the pen". "Brother, we are having a rebible."

Brothers and sisters this is exactly what we need. We need a re-Bible. When God's people rediscover the Book true revival is not far away. Read Nehemiah chapters 8 and 9. For this reason, we will begin providing a weekly family devotion in Sunday's worship bulletin. If you need a place to start reading, a place to start your rediscovery of the Book, one will be provided. The texts selected and study questions provided will be designed to help families get into the Word together. Rediscover the Word! Have a re-Bible of your own.
