Our small group from church wrapped up our study of J.I. Packer's Knowing God this week. Packer ends the book by stating that Paul's letter to the Romans is the pinnacle book of the Bible, and that Chapter 8, is the pinnacle of that book. The world we live in leads us into seeking immediate gratification with our thought life skipping from one thing to the next without landing anywhere of significance. One of God's gifts to us is scripture. It is a road map for how to live our lives with greater joy and peace. Packer challenged us to read, meditate on and memorize scripture. I accept the challenge and have committed to just 15 minutes alone every day doing that. I think I'll start with Romans 8. I would love for you to join me.
