Today I went to the Wailing Wall (directly behind me in the picture). What struck me the most was the dedication that the Jewish people have for the scriptures. During my time here I have seen Jewish people reading the scriptures over and over with a great deal of dedication. It convicts my heart to watch them pour out their heart to God while being moved by the scripture and know that there are days that I have trouble reading any of His Word at all.

I am convinced that if Christians had the same dedication to the scriptures that the Jewish people have, our churches would be busting at the seams and our spiritual lives would be richer. I think its time for the Church to start doing some serious reading, being a Biblical lightweight just won’t cut it anymore.
