May 4

I may shock us to consider burning our Bibles.  But if they are just sitting around collecting dust, they are not doing us any good and they might as well be burned.  Now do not get me wrong.  I am not advocating burning books.  But if we are not reading and studying God’s word as we should, what would be the harm?  God’s words are to be read and studied and carefully applied.  It is not to be used as a coffee table decoration.  Other books, yeah.  But we are to use the words that God has given us to minister to our needs.  And so I would urge you to pick it up this week, dust off the cover, and open it up to read it.  That is much better than burning it.
