It's Been a Long Time

Apparently it's been over a year since I posted anything on this site. I thought about it today and decided to pick it back up. If you're a part of the mbc student ministry then you've recently been challenged to read your bible...alot. At least a lot compared to how much people typically read it. Last week the challenge was to read Acts and this week it's Romans. I wanted to take advantage of this site and post some of the passages from the books we're reading that jumped out at me.

16I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from faith to faith, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."

18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nauture - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but thier thinking became fultle and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. Acts 1:16-23
