This is my Bible

Happy New Year! I just preached the first message of 2010 from Exodus 16. I challenged our church family to make a plan and spend time in God’s Word every day this year. I made a commitment to read through the whole Bible this year. And by God’s grace, I will!

We need God’s Word in our hearts, minds, and lives every day. Why? Here’s a resource that I have shared with our church family. I hope it’s helpful to you as we start 2010.

This is my Bible.

I am who it says I am. – Matthew 5:16

God’s Word is light for my path. – Psalm 119:105

  THANK YOU for posting this online! My husband came up to me today and asked me to look up the “This is my Bible” proclaimation. Your site popped up! We both read it and LOVE IT! Kirby is going to use it tomorrow in his sermon if that is OK with you?

  God Bless You
  Sincerely,
  A Pastor’s wife
