Purpose:
The Message Translation of James 2:17 says, "isn't it obvious that God-talk without God acts is outrageous nonsense?" The problem is, that most people don't really understand "God talk" because they haven't spent enough time hearing what God has said, first through His written word and then by pausing in prayer to hear His spoken voice. This year, one of my personal goals is to better understand my faith, so that I can more effectively employ my faith. This will require being transformed by the renewing of my mind with God's word. Thus, I'm dedicating specific time daily to read the bible. I know, it's a novel idea but I think it just might work :)
Logistics:
Welcome to my year long journey through the bible. In this blog, I will be chronicling my own lessons learned as I read through the Message translation of the bible throughout this year (hence the title Reel Conversation- it's a documentary of God's conversation with us through the bible). If you want to follow along, join the blog as I won't be sending out regular updates from this particular blog. Additionally, feel free to join my bible reading plan which can be found by purchasing a copy of Eugene Peterson's The Message Bible/Remix: Pause.
So, I invite you to join along for the journey, as I engage in Reel Conversation with God and His written scriptures.
