“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Psalm 23:6

There is an open invitation for each one of us to respond to, and that invitation is from Jesus as He calls us to "dwell."

The Bible is actually full of Jesus’ invitations to dwell with Him, in His Word, and among His people—offering peace, righteousness, and an eternal dwelling place. This invitation to "dwell" is open to all who will respond. His call is open, personal, and life-changing.

No matter where you are in your life journey, Jesus extends His hand, inviting you into something greater than this world can offer. Today, let's look at four of these personal invitations to dwell.

How to Read the Bible as a Love Letter

2/14/2025

Have you ever #read the #Bible as a love letter? Imagine savoring every word, rereading it with joy, and cherishing it as a personal message from #God. What if we approached #Scripture this way--expecting to hear His voice, #meditating on His #promises, and responding in #prayer? In this latest #blogpost, we explore How to Read the Bible as a Love Letter and how this perspective can transform your #faith. Dive in and rediscover the beauty of God's love through His Word! #FaithJourney #BibleStudy

I have long said (and written) that the Bible is God’s Love Letter to us. But what does that really mean, and how can we approach Scripture with this mindset?

Imagine receiving a love letter from someone you cherish deeply. Would you skim through it quickly just to get it over with? Or would you savor every word, reading it over and over again, pondering its meaning, and holding onto it for reassurance?

Howard Hendricks, in Living by the Book, shares a compelling analogy about reading the Bible as a love letter. He recounts a story of a man who fell in love through a correspondence courtship. Every letter he received was read and reread multiple times, tucked under his pillow, and treasured. Why? Because he was in love with the person who wrote them.

Sweeter Than Honey: It Is Good, Finished, and Done

12/31/2024

From #Genesis to #Revelation, #God's Word is His divine Love Letter. In Genesis, we see the beauty of creation as God declares, “It was very good” (Genesis 1:31). On the cross, Jesus cried, “It is finished” (John 19:30), paying the ultimate price for our sins and fulfilling the plan of #salvation. In Revelation, we glimpse the promise of a new #Heaven and new earth. Jesus declares, “Behold, I am making all things new…It is done! I am the #Alpha and the #Omega” (Revelation 21:5-6). #BibleStudy

What if we spent a few quiet moments with God each morning? What if we were intentional about making time for it? And what if we committed to doing that all year long, only to find that by the end of the year, we had read the entirety of God's Word—His Love Letter to us?

How many times have you, on January 1, resolved to read the Bible from cover to cover in a year? I’ve made that commitment more times than I can count, and I’ve failed more times than I’d like to admit. But a few years ago, I tried something different—I used a one-year, chronological order of book authorship, Bible Reading Itinerary. Did you know that Genesis wasn’t the first book of the Bible written? While these plans can vary, since it's impossible to pinpoint exact dates for some books, the plan I used began with the book of Job. Let me introduce you to Sweeter Than Honey, a book patterned after that Bible Reading Itinerary.
