Profiting from the Scriptures
by J.C. Ryle
(3) For another thing, read the Bible with child-like faith and humility.Open your
heart--as you open God’s book, and say, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening!”
Resolve to believe implicitly whatever you find there, however much it may run counter
to your own desires and prejudices. Resolve to receive heartily every statement of truth-
-whether you like it or not. Beware of that miserable habit into which some readers of
the Bible fall--they receive some doctrines because they like them; and they reject
others because they are condemning to themselves, or to some relation, or friend. At this
rate, the Bible is useless! Are we to be judges of what ought to be in God’s Word? Do
we know better than God? Settle it down in your mind--that you will receive all and
believe all, and that what you cannot understand--you will take on trust. Remember,
whey you pray--that you are speaking to God, and God hears you. But, remember, when
you read Scripture--that God is speaking to you, and you are not to “dictate,” but to
listen!

Here it is, the second last week of
the year 2011. The weather is great
for getting around for Christmas
celebrations. The roads are clear
with a little skiff of snow to make
the ground white although the
weatherman is going to take care of
that with some rain. Here’s wishing
everyone a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year and all the best in
2012.
Happy birthday to Karen Mason
who celebrates Dec. 23; Brock
