Friday night, as part of the encounter 9, Brian talked about the importance of nourishing our soul with Scripture and growing in our Spiritual walk. We had a good discussion on (without being cliche’) about the importance of keeping Scripture in our diet to continue growing from an infant > to a child > to a teen > to a man > to a leader in our spiritual growth.
Of course, to be honest, sometimes just sitting down and reading a passage of Scripture can wear on you like a ham sandwich everyday. But luckily there are lots of resources out there that can help keep our appetite growing for more and more of God’s word.
I’ve seen some great devotionals out there for every make and model but even after a while the “read-scripture-read-a-thought-for-the-day” formula can get old as well. One of the things I’ve loved in the past and that works great for those who have trouble staying focused while reading, are the collection of great audio Bibles out there that can be played on your CD player or even your iPod.
I personally enjoy the Message REMIX on Mp3. It’s actually been sitting in a box or drawer until recently but I just pulled it out again to dump on my Mp3 player for the ride to work. I have the NT version but the entire Bible is available as well.
My buddy Matt just got a copy of The Bible Experience and can’t say enough about it. it’s a dramatic reading of Scripture by a number of hollywood actors including Denzel Washington and others. I’ve blogged on that in the past and would love to have a copy of it myself.
Any other resources you’ve found that keep your appetite growing?
