Hopefully as we faithfully read and engage and meditate and respond to the text, we start to change in noticeable and significant ways. Iam thinking it's not enough to put the Bible under our pillows as we sleep. We have to read it. But it's not enough to read it, we have to engage it like the blog posters have done. Even that is not enough. We have to make the decision to start living it out. Then over time we will be different people.
Really reading the Bible this way changes us in two ways. One way is that it gives us a new set of glasses so we see reality: ourselves, others, the way the world operates accurately, realistically. The other way it it helps gives us a new set of values: what is important, what is true, what is beauty, what is good.

Why this blog?
Well, at this point, we are almost finished with our daily Bible readings. Having started with Day 47, we are now at the beginning of the book. How have you done with your own commitment to read?
* Our entire church, Cumberland Presbyterian Chinese Church, in SF and DC, is studying the Bible in its entirety throughout the year of 2009. We're using the book "Meet the Bible" as a tool to keep us focused and in sync with each other. It's recommended that you read each daily devotional, but if you find it difficult to keep up, then read the most recent ones before posting your comments.
