Here I am at my desk. Last Saturday, we had a flood. There's too much info to write down for you but let's say that the damage is not catastrophic but substantial. We are living in a hotel and aren't quite sure when our day-to-day will return. The issue of faith and life is ever before us. So are the insurance people, restoration people, strata people; lots of people. And yet our faith in a God who knows and feels and answers is growing stronger. I'll write more later as it's about 35 degrees in our house with a humidex hovering around 95%. I feel like I'm typing in the tropics. Pray for us - not that we would be comfortable (although that would be nice) but pray that where ever we go and whomever we meet that we would be lights for our Lord. Pray that our children would continue to see our God in action.
One question; How important a role does Biblical literacy play in our daily lives? How important is measuring what we see, hear and read up with the Bible?
ok - that was two questions - cut me some slack; I'm displaced.

The Holy Spirit has little to work with if you are not in God's word. The only words that are rattling around in your head are your own and some other pretty bad ideas that you get from our world. Without scripture to help you filter what you read, hear, see and are sometimes forsce to pay attention to, a Christian is left to find wisdom and discernment in his or her own sinful flesh. But you see, I can be this black and white because one thing the Bible has taught me is I'm not any good without Jesus. So, Biblical literacy shapes your faith, how you express it, and how it will change you to be more like Christ.
Here's a question; can you grow in your faith without the Bible?
So sorry to hear about your flood! Let us know if we can help in any way.
