Bible Verse of the Week

"This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."


Romans 3: 22-23

2 Timothy 3

Hey REEFers!!!

Goodness, the weeks do pass quickly, and theres only a week till RICE FEST!! Quick Quick Quick, get your tickets and your friends to come.

During the bible study at REEF a question popped up in my head, is it easier being a Christian as a missionary in the Jungle, or being a Christian in Sydney?

And also, How important is the bible to you? Is it just a book you have on your bedside, one which you take out to church every sunday to ceremoniously brush off the dust on its covers? Is it just a symbolic book, which is your faith, but cannot possibly have relevance in today's society?

Or do you see it as God's Words? It says in this weeks Bible study, that all scripture is "God Breathed". That doesnt mean he just inhaled and exhaled over it, it means it comes from God.

Even if everythign in the Bible mightnt seem interesting, its there for a purpose. There are four things we should look at:

1) Teaching: What truths can you discover that will help you understand God and other people?
2) Rebuking: How does that passage tell us whats wrong, and needs change?
3) Correcting: How does it tell us to become more Christ like?
4)Training: What can you get out of that passage that will equip you for "every good work"?

This had been rather a long post, but i'd like to highlight one more thing, the meanign of REEF. To:
REBUKE
ENCOURAGE
EXTOL in
FELLOWSHIP

All those points point towards the bible, and Christ.

Prayer Point:

~ Pray for REEF next week, when several new comers come before the RICE event
~Pray for RICE FEST.
~Pray that we use God's Words, (for those of you who went to bible quiz, the sword of the spirit) and use it in our everyday lives.
~Pray that God will give us insight as we read his Word.

Finally a verse which Luke pointed out.

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angles nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, no anything else in all creation, will be able to seperate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8: 38,39

Amen
