Access to the Word

I just downloaded e-Sword, a free Bible software program, in order for me to insert passages from the Bible into study notes, essays, or whatever. This way I don't have to type out each passage or have to have an Internet connection to copy and paste. I have no trouble typing out each verse. I actually think it helps sometimes. However, I'm doing a personal study which requires researching many passages of Scripture and I think this will aid in note-taking.

It's amazing what access we in America have to the Word of God compared to much of the world. I'm so thankful that Bibles are so easy to come by here. I don't take that for granted. I don't know what I'd do without the Word of God.

So many people have wanted their own Bible for years, but many people don't hear about, listen, or realize that this great need exists.

I don't know what I'd do with out the written Word of God. What would you do if you had restricted access or no access at all to a Bible?

There are multiple organizations, in addition to your local churches and the Salvation Army, that help get Bibles into the hands of those who need and want one. One is Bibles Unbound, part of Voice of the Martyrs. Like I said, there are many. If God lays it on your heart provide a Bible for someone, or to help provide Bibles through certain organization, please do so. Everyone needs the Word of God!

Christmas Everyday

No snow on Christmas this year, which was weird. But, it doesn't matter much. That's not what Christmas is. I celebrate Christmas because I know Christ. And because I know Christ, I can celebrate Christmas everyday. And Easter. And Passover. And...etc. :)
