Anyone want to read the Bible and pray?

This post over at the solapanel picks up on something that I have been thinking a lot about recently as I've been thinking about TBT.

You might have noticed that as we've asked people to prayerfully consider how they might be involved in serving next year, one of the options on the 'Looking forward to 2009' form is to meet with someone one-to-one to read the Bible, and we've also asked if you'd like to be trained in how to meet up with someone to read the Bible.

We heard on Sunday night that the Word became flesh and made his dwelling with us. It is in the Word of God that we come to know God. And he has given us the Bible, the words of God, so that we can come to know who he is and what he has done for us in Jesus. It is through his word that the Spirit works in us to change us to be more like Jesus. It is in his word that our sin is exposed and we are convicted of the need to repent.

So how are you going in your prayer and Bible reading? Why not get together with someone from TBT next year to read the Bible together regularly. Not sure how to do it? Then let us know and sign up to get some training next year so that you can be better equipped!
