I Corinthians 8-12
Numbers 24-28
Song of Solomon 4-7 and then Psalm 1-3
The year half spent,
Benjamin Franklin said, "One today is worth two tomorrows." 2010 is now more than half spent and you may find yourself falling behind in the reading that you planned to do. Do not worry about those opportunities that you have missed but rather follow the example of the Apostle Paul who wrote in Philippians 3:12-14, "Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."
So spend no more time worrying about the days that are past but neither put off until tomorrow the reading that you can do today! Pick up your Bible, find that quiet spot, and begin reading. If you are behind, don't worry about catching up just join us where we are and keep going from there. The treasures of God's word await you. May you be blessed as you read!

Reading Assignment:
July 11th-17th
I Corinthians 3-7
Numbers 19-23
Ecclesiastes 9 - Song of Solomon 3
My apologies for the tardiness of this post. I have been unable to access the internet over the last few days as I have been at summer camp with the youth. I had not expected to attend the camp myself this year but the Lord had other plans. The last few days have been incredible as I have seen the Lord moving upon the hearts of our youth in phenominal ways. It has been a great blessing to witness all that He has done. I invite you all to join us at the church on Friday, July 23rd for a time of worship and testamonies as the youth share about their experiences from this year at camp! May the Lord bless you as you read His word this week!

Reading Assignment for June 27th-July 3rd
Romans 9-13
Numbers 9-13
Proverbs 26 - Ecclesiastes 1
Faithful are the wounds of a friend...we are told in Proverbs 27:6. Those wounds are perhaps the means of the sharpening that is referred to in verse 17, "As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend." In order for iron to sharpen iron there must be a point of conflict, and for there to be a wounding however faithful it may be, there must be a point of contention. The strength of a friendship is not determined by the absence of conflict or disagreement, but rather by how that conflict and disagreement is manifested and managed within the friendship.
A true friend is someone who can see you as you are, tell you what you don't want to hear, and keep loving you in spite of it all. A friend tells us the truth, not out of spite, but out of love for who we are and who we are becoming in the Lord. God uses faithful friends in our lives to administer to us the love, grace, and council that we need to receive from Him. A true friend is a channel of God's truth, love, and wisdom in our lives, as verse 9 of this Proverb tells us, "Ointment and perfume delight the heart, and the sweetness of a man's friend gives delight by hearty counsel." Thanks be to God for faithful friends! May we both have, and be them.
