January 11 reading from Matt. 5:17-48

The phrase in v. 17spoke to me, "Do not think..." as Jesus begins to share His teaching on fulfillment of the Law, He cautions His hearers to not make the wrong conclusion about His words. His teaching would fulfill not abolish what God had previously said and revealed in the Old  Testament law. Sometimes I have made the wrong conclusion about what God was saying or doing in my life. O Father, help me to hear correctly as You speak Your Truth and love to make me "perfect" or complete as You are (5:48).

Welcome to the ABC blog for the Bible Reading Plan

Welcome! This avenue of sharing is for the participants in the 2011 Church-wide Bible Reading Plan at Amite Baptist Church. As God speaks to each of us, this is a way you can share with your church family what God is saying, what questions you have, and how we can walk with each other in prayer. This blog is not as much to teach each other but to encourage and support in our daily reading and to praise the Lord for what He is doing as we move through this year together around His Word.

God is working mightily already--helping people to pray on their knees, share in their small-groups,and make siginficant life changes. Let's help each other become all that God intends as He speaks through His Word.

I hope to share consistently with you and look forward to you doing the same. I am thankful for all God is doing.

Bro. Ernest
