The important things of life...

The internet has become both a great boon to us and a great peril. We can talk and communicate with loved ones half a world away in seconds, listen to faith messages and sermons, do research on matters that concern us and shop for things we want or need. But it is also easy access to all kinds of unspeakable evil. Pornography is big business, ethics and integrity are thrown out the window as anonymity prevails in business and transactions and rather than having real friends who are there for you and you for them, we have social networks with friends who often choose lies over loyalty and love.

This blog is set up only to discuss matters concerning the Daily Chews that are sent out by email. The Daily Chews are Bible scriptural passages, often accompanied with commentary. The Bible is a rich tapestry for us to look at and enjoy, for it tells us of God's great love for us and His Son Jesus Christ. It is a place where anyone can come, enjoy and be encouraged in the Word of God.

While the truth of various passages remains unchangable, God often uses the same passage to speak differently into each of our lives.

And that is what this blog is all about. To give us all free expression to the Bible and how God has used it to show us something about Himself. In the free give and take of a community forum, there will be disagreements and great differences. Let us approach each post with an attitude of humility and love as Jesus demonstrated.

In the end, it is ALL ABOUT JESUS! As John the Baptist said, 'He must increase, and I must decrease.' May our lives be open to His moving.
