CHAPTER FIVE – Do You Want The Good News or The Bad News First?
Have you ever notice how things can completely change depending on your perspective? For example, imagine that you’re asleep–a nice comfortable sleep filled with sweet dreams and somebody slaps you in the face so that you wake up to a very sore cheek. How do you feel about that person?
Ok, now say the same scenario happens, but once you’re awake the person who hit you explains that the building you’re in is on fire, and you need to get out before you’re trapped inside. Now how do you feel about that person?
The Bible can bring about different reactions from different people. For example. If you don’t love God, and your life demonstrates a disregard for how he has told us to live, much of the Bible is going to sound pretty harsh–and even frightening. But if you’ve been saved by God, and your life shows it through living the way he tells us to, then you’re going to read the same Bible with a lot of thanks and joyfulness.
So what do you get out of it–good news or bad news?
PS. I don’t know what happened, but this one has terrible sound quality too. The others are better.
