“Opening the Book of Faith”

“Opening the Book of Faith” – the new initiative from national church-wide offices of the ELCA is encouraging all Lutherans to get into the Bible!

I have met quite a few ‘non-denominational’ Christians that are really good at memorized proof texting – you know, they can quote anything from any book but they are not knowledgeable about the over all message of scripture. They have a questionable understanding of the big picture.

On the other hand, I have met quite a few Lutherans who know the overall message of the good news, but they don’t really know where it’s found in scripture.

We need to get back to the basics of bible study. I’ve met quite a few people who say, “I wish I knew the Bible better” and I say “Well, great! Let’s do something about that!.” Join us for bible study! We meet almost every day of the week at Abiding Love for one study or another! Sunday mornings – everyone has the opportunity to get into the Book of Faith!

See you in church!
