Reading: 1 Timothy 4, Ezekiel 37-38, Paalm 44
Today I’m doing something different. I want to talk about
something I’ve been reading and rereading, this has been impacting my life.
Brennan Manning’s “The Ragamuffin gospel.” Brennan was able to open my eyes to
a deeper understanding of the grace of God and how we so often we say we
believe in grace but in practice we spend much of our time trying to work our
way to heaven. I’m in good company when I say I was touched by The Ragamuffin
gospel just going off the forwards written by Michael W. Smith and the late
Rich Mullins.
Like the Gospel of Christ I want to share this with
everyone. Unlike those who can just give out books to their friends I have to
encourage people to check it out from the library, barrow it, or go buy a copy.
So I want to let you know that this book touched me nearly as much as I was by
the Gospel of Christ. This book will shake you to your core and help you to
understand some of the things Jesus did that we don’t understand because of
some of the cultural difference. Some of the differences that are touched on
are things like how we look as meals and how we look at kids.
Lord, I thank you for this book and the understanding that
it brought about in my life and the understanding that Jesus cares for me no
matter the things in my past, he will love me and accept me even if I fall on
my face in the future. I ask all those who get the opportunity to read this
book will be touched and transformed into the people we are called to be. I
also ask you to bless the time spent seeking you and in your word.
