19 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matt. 6:19-21)

One way to find out what you treasure is to fill in the blank in the following statement: If I lost "blank", my day/week/month/year/life would be ruined.

I read this quote today at the blog "Of First Importance":

“Honest prayer unmasks your real need and puts you in the presence of a rich Christ who wants to meet you as you really are — ‘wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked’ (Rev. 3:17).”

- C. John Miller, Repentance and 21st Century Man (Fort Washington, Pa.: CLC Publications, 1980), 103.

"My goal is not to read through [the Bible] but let it read through me"
-John Burke

Scripture

1 Hear the word that the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel. 2 Thus says the LORD:
Learn not the way of the nations,
nor be dismayed at the signs of the heavens
because the nations are dismayed at them,
3 for the customs of the peoples are vanity.
A tree from the forest is cut down
and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman.
4 They decorate it with silver and gold;
they fasten it with hammer and nails
so that it cannot move.

Like a kid in a candy store, I am excited for the release of the ESV Study Bible on October 15th. I pre-ordered mine months ago :-)

Check out this 5-minute video introducing this remarkable resource.
