Challenge 2008: Delight in God's Word

This morning, I challenged Christ Baptist Church to be a church that delights in God's Word in 2008. Our text was Psalm 1 and we noticed 3 very simple aspects of the blessed person:

1. The blessed person rejects the ways of the world (v. 1).
2. The blessed person delights in God's Word (v. 2).
3. The blessed person experiences amazing benefits (v. 3).
-Fruitfulness

-Stability

-Prosperity

One of the practical expressions of this challenge is that we are going to continue our Scripture Memory program. In 2008, we are going to memorize Psalm 96, John 14, and the first few verses of John 15 (with God's help).

Questions for you:

-What are you planning to memorize this year?
-In what way are you planning to read the Bible this year?
-In what other ways can we express and cultivate our delight in God's Word this year?

Thank you for having us to memorize His Word. I am looking forward to memorize His Word this year, 2008.

Romans 8 is a very challeging one for me and other. I did wish that I did better that one, but I am not giving up memorizing Romans 8 and will continue to work on that.
