Potter Madness

If one wants: drama, action, character development, good vs evil, miracles, wicked kings, 'Jezebel' queens, prophets, seers, family rivalies, etc ...

Look no further than ...



I'm amazed by the frenzy over "Pottermania"! Americans are ignorant of the greatest book ever! The Holy Scriptures. And unlike Harry ... the Scriptures are TRUE!

1. Romans 1:2-4, " ... which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. "
   
2. 1 Corinthians 10:1-11, "Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3 all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted. And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.” Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell; nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents; nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer. Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come."
   
3. 2 Timothy 3:15,16, "and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"
   

We will give an account for how we handle truth. Read a novel if you wish - but don't let the Bible be a forgotten book!

On a personal note: Kathee and I are reading the Old Testament together (2 chapters a night generally). It is exciting stuff! And it is God's Holy Word!

What's the best Bible! Well unless you read Hebrew, I would not suggest the Bible in the picture above. Bibles I have and recommend: King James Version, New American Standard, New King James Bible, New International Version, and the English Standard Version. All are available at Amazon.com, Borders Bookstore, and other locations. Many probably have one right in your home, perhaps gathering dust from disuse!
