EXCERPT from Passion/Purpose/Perspective
http://ppp.livingbythewordsofgod.com/index.htm
PURPOSE: My purpose is to draw you into a vital relationship with God through his words; a relationship that fits his design and intent and brings glory to God.
Inspire you to taste the goodness of God through his words.
Introduce you to the offer of life contained in the words of God.
Instruct you in a biblical pursuit of the opportunity that God extends to us through his written words.
Invite you to share what God gives you along the way with another traveler.
So Much More
Gods word is so much more than we often realize. My purpose is to help as many people as possible experience the fullness and goodness of God that comes through a relationship with God built on a faithful determination to live by his words.
Inspire you to taste the goodness of God through his words.
Desire God’s pure word as newborn babies desire milk. Then you will grow in your salvation. Certainly you have tasted that the Lord is good (1 Peter 2:2-3 GW)!
Now thats a tomato!
There are tomatoes and then there are tomatoes. Buy one in the grocery store in mid-January or pluck one off the vine in your garden in mid-August. There is no comparison. Granted we can buy better tomatoes in January than we could in years past, but when is the last time you pulled off the skin wrap and took a big bite of that January tomato and exclaimed, Now thats a tomato!
Lets pretend that someone had only eaten tomatoes grown in a greenhouse. You would be able to neither explain to them nor convince them of the difference unless you could get them to walk out to the garden and taste for themselves. Twist it off the vine, rub the dirt off and take a big, juicy bite. Now that is a tomato!
And there is no convincing or arm-twisting that I can do; somehow I must persuade you to taste and see that the Lord is certainly good.
(Psalms 34:8 NKJV) Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
