I just found something marvelous. Oh, woe is us, our economic times, you know, they are just horrible. Yeah? Really? We are so very oooshy-coooshy - we are so very comfy - let us not forget reality. We have all we need - and a government proud to bail us out, should we need it. And all this stuff isn't healing our cancer or healing our hearts. What we really crave is the Healer, not the stuff. Oops, tangent.
Something marvelous: have you ever felt those guilt twinges when you noticed how many Bibles are in your house - the gift Bibles, the past-life Bibles, the 3 different translations you tried thinking you might read it more often.
One of my favorite organizations is Voice of the Martyrs. It's where you are reminded what it means to die to self - to live for Christ - to count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things (Phil 3:8) It's where I'm reminded that people are torn apart (quite literally) in their efforts to keep the living Word of God in their home, even in their memory.
So, for Christmas, get bold and brave - it's even free (as if we needed free) to send your extra, dusty (or even one you keep polished with your early-morning fingers) Sword to someone who desperately yearns for it. You just click on here and fill out their form and the free postage-paid envelope comes ready and addressed to send your Bible to a real person who needs one. Marvelous.
