God's Word
I was listening to david Platt this afternoon and i couldn't help but realize how incredibly spoiled we as Americans are. I know that just myself, personally, i have over half a dozen Bibles. All different styles, sizes, and translations. Not to mention the dozens of other religious books i have. And to find out that there are countries where people risk their lives to get a copy of even just a piece of the Bible. Countries where people memorize whole books because they know it could be taken away. How did we get to here? How did we get to place where we collect Bibles like DVD's? Or turn Holy days until a self-centered Holiday? How did we take Jesus himself and turn him into a more comfortable, prettier, American Jesus who was cautious and safe? How could we do that to Jesus? I am disgusted with myself. Oh God, please change me.
