I have done a poor job of keeping up with this blog. As I sit to write something else, I wonder if the timely nature of my writing matters? Frankly, maybe we would do well to simply read all the old stuff, some of it is even better that anything new.

Take the Bible for instance. It is ancient. It was written as long ago as 5,000 years, and yet is still the most widely distributed book in human history. I love the book. It is incredibly insightful, full of wisdom, history and the human condition, and that is simply the surface nature of it. On a much deeper level it is the Word of God. It helps us to see, to interact, and work with God. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 puts it this way:

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Of course my problem is that I spend way more timing watching television then I do reading scripture. I seem to allow myself to be influenced heavily by our culture. But then again, I think it is way too easy to pick on ourselves for not reading enough. How about instead we ask, “Am I reading at all?”

I encourage you, to simply pick up the Bible today and pick some place and start reading. Who knows, God may be true to his word and equip you for something amazing as a result.
