Day One - We are Starting!

Today we start an incredible journey together! The Bible is a love letter from God to us, His children.  "We should read and study the Bible because it is God's Word to us.  The Bible is literally 'God-breathed' (2 Timothy 3:16).  In other words, it is God's very words to us."  (Copyright 2002-2010 Got Questions Ministries)

Did you know that one of the many names of Jesus is the Word of God?  John 1:1-2 says "In the beginning the Word already existed.  He was with God, and he was God,"  1 John 1:1 says "The one who existed from the beginning is the one we have heard and seen.  We saw him with our own eyes and touched him with our own hands.  He is Jesus Christ, the Word of life," and Revelation 19:13 says "... and his title was the Word of God." (NLT)  Today's reading assignment is Genesis 1:1 through Genesis 16:16.  It is not very long (24 pages in my giant print Bible,) but takes us all the way from Creation to Abram, right before God changed his name to Abraham.  You can read whichever translation you prefer, or you can listen to the NIV translation of today's reading at 
http://www.biblein90days.org/listenwhileyouread/  We will be led by our own Pastor Michael Keen and blogging about what we have read to help us to understand and gain better insight into God's Word.  Pastor Michael says "This will be a great journey of learning and applying the Word to our everyday lives.  We hope to become more faithful and led by our gracious Father in Heaven.  Please do not hesitate to add any comments or ask any questions along the way.  I look forward to being a part of this experience with all of you!"  Feel free to post any questions for Pastor Michael, comments you have about today's reading, or anything else you want to share with the group in the comment section below.
