Hello friends!

If there is one thing I really believe is true, its that the Word of God has the potential to be a vein through which GOD HIMSELF can speak to the innermost parts of us, commune with us, and ultimately transform our lives. Why do I say “has the potential..”? Because I know and have known so many who immersed themselves in the Bible like it was a text book or merely a historical tool or far worse, like a piece of evidence in a trial to prove their theology. I had professors in college whose life work was to study those inspired pages between Genesis and Revelation, but never were inspired to know the God the pages pointed to! The Bible can either open people’s eyes to the reality of God as their Pursuer or it can puff there chest up with pride as they analyze and conjecture and debate...

The pastor at our church said on Easter something that is sticking to my insides... he said, “the power of salvation is in its great depth of breadth of transformation”.

That is what I want....what I need: transformation.

Proud to humble.
Self-centered to Kingdom focused.
Fearful to Courageous.
Greedy to Generous.
Unforgiving to Forgiving.
Angry to Peaceable.
Hearer of the Word to Doer of the Word.
Critical to Grace-full.
Dishonest to Truthful.
Punishing to Merciful.
Lustful to Pure Hearted.
Selfish to Loving.
Striving to Content.
Abrasive to Gentle.
Faint-hearted to Faithful.
Self-conscious to Known.

And if the Holy Spirit through the Word can accomplish those things in my life, and I believe He can, then why don’t I spend more time investing in quiet moments with Him?

Why? Because sometimes I am lazy...or distracted...afraid...or have I have just filled my life with too many other things...

I am going to keep a section my new website called 'seek' for anyone who would be interested in digging into the Word with me... I feel compelled to start with the book of Colossians. So I will start posting in this section a Bible study of sorts that you are all more than welcome to join. I am going to give it a few days so that people have the chance to find out about before getting behind...let’s start on April 16....next Monday. I will post a few verses each day until we are through the book....

Hope you come along.

Kate
