Romans 15:4 ESV For whatever was written in former days was
written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the
encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
Cokesbury is closing all its retail stores and will now only
sell their books and other Christian resources through online or catalog
sales. Saturday Joe and I made the trek
to our Cokesbury store to say goodbye and shop the closing sale. I have emotional ties to that store. The Holy
Spirit had spoken to me there, prompting me to buy books that led to studies and
significant personal and church change.
I liked being able to pick up books and bibles and to look through them
to see if they were what I was looking for.
Sorry, Cokesbury you can’t do that in a catalog and I’m not going to
just order a bunch of books to review and send what I don’t want back. Surely there are other quality Christian
bookstores in Atlanta. Joe and I departed with a bag full of books that he and
I picked out. I relate this experience to the bible. Too many Christians rely on representatives
like pastors and Sunday school teachers to tell them about the bible instead of
holding it in their hands and reading it themselves. That is the only way to truly know the
contents. The Holy Word contains countless treasures if we will but look for
them ourselves. Have you read your bible today?
Blessings,
Paige
