daily reading bible daily reading and that is and that is mister andrew bennett welcome to thi are part of that your dedication to advocating for daily reading is the first for me and i don't know if your heart well how a birth well that's it that is interesting actually the way it started i guess was i accepted jesus into my heart when i was eleven years old someone gave me a whole winner's new testament at that time and i started reading the first chapter of matthew and i ran it through all the funny names the hebrew names and i thought if this is what the bible is it's too hard for me i can't read it but when i was seventeen i started reading the do testament again something the pastor said in my church sparked my reading of the word and i started reading it and i literally could not stop once i got started and i read through the gospels when i accepted the lord at eleven it was kind of like this being introduced to him but when i started reading the bible i got to know him and i started praying and and the lord became a very powerful part of my life and  what has caused me to to minister more about the need our need for the word is something that happened to me actually just a few years ago a friend of mine had a bible reading program and they were having kids read a book of the bible out loud and they would be given a certificate and my friend want to be to read read the scripture out loud to get the adults involved in reading their bibles and i started i had i was going to start to read and then i had the idea of seeing scripture so i started the i started seeing the bible and i started in the psalms i finished with thompson two weeks and then i had the idea of seeing the whole bible through so i did in four and a half months and now i'm on the seventh time i'm thinking the bible for good and twice i'm doing slower this time but the twice  in one of those times i or twice i say in the bible through in sixty six days i found a small book and then a portion of a long book and so i could finish and partly for my own walk with the lord but also to encourage others to read their bibles right because i'm i found for myself that it was my way of really breaking into a relationship with the lord absolutely well that's an amazing story and an amazing reality i believe that there is a more and the earth and the christian pasterns the leadership will follow that particular lean and invite you to come and and minister in this particular area because i don't know anyone that's as dedicated as you advocating for daily reading so i believe that god will be pleased that we're blessed any so god will reward us in just reading and meditating on the scripture that's a correct i'd like to tell you why i think this is really so important i brought something with me ok today this might look like a just a piece of pipe but it's actually a musical instrument that i made and it's a play you designed i did i did i cut the holes and i put a stop on the end and it's really a beautiful but what i've found is that people think this is just a book and they don't realize what it is they think it's that the book and it's boring and they think it's hard to do hard to understand and they think it's filled with laws that will condemn them and that they can never will but what this really is this is not just a book this this bible is actually a jesus book and there is a scripture john the scriptures yes or in then you think you have eternal life and they are which testify of me and this is what jesus says to us that we are to search the scriptures to find him and this is the jesus book absolute and what we need to do it search for him in the scripture and a lot of out of the book and into our lives because he wants to have telescope with us and he wants to have a relationship with us and that's why we read the scripture not for knowledge not for understanding but for relationship and as we do that knowledge comes in the thing is it's not it's not too hard to understand if we will just read it the lord will speak it to us and shows me that i have access to the strength of jesus of heart and and of his of his strength so to me reading the bible is absolutely fascinating yes well we believe the same thing that we can grow in grace and then the knowledge of the lord if we will daily read the  well and if i might i'd like to just singing from the scriptures for a moment just to give it a sample this is what i do every day to worship the lord i'm just going to say we're open can see us from the from the heavenly and then it says my beloved steak and said it to me rise up my love my their one and come away and that's what jesus does in our lives the he says come away from this world come away to be with me for a little while come away and be in the word where i can speak to you and be and in prayer to me where you can speak to me the lord well we thank the lord for that beautiful demonstration of never seen one like that and i don't know anyone who doreen what brother bennett is doing we're going to be right back because we're going to change the setting for a minute and we want to continue on with this particular show as a parent i know one of the most important times to be with your children is when they are for many families or the place they can go to find the support they need ronald mcdonald house charities programs provide that supportive environment so families can be together while their children are fighting to have my friend all the way from new york state to come and be a blessing to the where old and to share his heart and certainly have a very unique way in doing so so i'm going to ask everyone who's listening today to trade in this direction and open up your heart and receive a where in music from andrew bennett let's receive him  that you would drop into prayer and into your word and that there never be a day go by that we do not spend time with you alone in your word and in prayer or just as we eat every day we
