Building with small stones: Day 12


Choose any article, online or hard copy, and take time to read the entire thing, beginning to end, word for word, thinking about the content, and refusing to "click away" before you are done.
For me: I chose the first article I saw at www.desiringgod.org, entitled "What the Devil Doesn't Want You to Know," by Jon Bloom. I had to choose whether to hover over the Bible references, whether that would equate to clicking away. I decided since the verse just popped up and then went away, and since it caused me to focus MORE on the content of the article, rather than just glossing over the Bible references, that I would read each Scripture as an integral part of the article. The article is about the greatest commandment (to love God), how it sets us free to obey God's other commands, how God's grace applies Christ's obedience to the greatest command to our account, and how life marked by love is a foretaste of Heaven in the here and now. And how the Devil doesn't want us to understand any of that.
