Subject: Is prayer of Jabez special? |
Bible Note: I too have to agree with you that people do go "hog wild" on some of the 'latest things". However, and you knew that there would be one from someone - Ha Ha), I have to say that I am really enjoying the Left Behind Series. I love to seriously study the word. I try to spend as much time doing it as I can but sometimes I like to give my brain a rest and just read for fun. The series in my opinion has taken the word/prophecies and made a story of them as to how it might be in the future. I'm sure that many who have read the series have been "scared straight" a little and if it does that aren't they worth it? I would also bet that the series have gotten people to read the bible to see if the stories are really true. If it gets them to open the bible aren't they worth it? I also have to add that almost every time I have opened a Christian book I have learned something that has helped me in my walk. For example, I just finished a book calle "Word of Honor" by Terri Blackstock. From the book I have a much better understanding of what a covenant is and how one was made in the O.T. Isn't that good? In reading the Bible Code I gained "ammo" for the next time I had a chance to witness to someone who didn't believe the bible was accurate. Isn't that good? I do agree though that you must check everything you learn with the scriptures and many don't do that. You must also make sure to keep your priorities in the right order. With Christ's Love, prayon |
