Dear Brothers and Sisters...

I remember what a man had asked me one day in Africa while I was standing outside. He asked if he could have a Bible. He then went on to say "How can I know God's word if I do not have God's word?" 
This got me to thinking. How many christian homes have Bibles throughout their house that they are taking for granted (probably more than you can count with just your fingers)? How many Bibles are sitting on a shelf collecting dust when God could use His word to pour into someone's life? How many people around the world don't have a Bible, and here we are with them just sitting throughout our homes while we are watching TV or hanging out with friends... without us giving any thought to it? 
Something is just not right.
"For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account." Hebrews 4:12-13
Goodness! I would love to know how many of us ''christians'' actually take time to sit down to read and meditate on God's word?  Here we are with the word of God that could-and would-change our lives and it is just sitting somewhere collecting dust...
This has to change. The people of Christ should be reading, studying, and meditating on the word of God! We should be giving the word of God to those who don't have one and who want one. 
What are we doing dear brothers and sisters! 
Stand up, reach out, and change the world... One Bible at a time.
