Believing What God Says To Us

From Do You Understand What You Are Reading?:

It's the first post of the new year. Here we go again and this year many of us are on the journey together to read through the Bible this year. Reading three or four chapters a day, six days a week, equals too many details for me to discuss. So, I'll try to comment on some big-picture issues in the chapters. For instance, in Genesis the phrase, "God said," occurs 30 times, about half of them in Genesis 1-3 (10 of them in chapter 1). Then, after seeing the King's speech create all of life, including ours, it is God's speech that is questioned and ultimately rejected in favor of another speech--that of the Serpent. That's basically the drama being played out in our lives every single day. Whose speech will you honor as reality this year?
