You may have heard the phrase, ‘if you want to let God laugh, let him know your plans!’ Prayer, the conversation we have with God, actually helps us to take risks, and to turn words and love into action.
Having such a venturesome faith requires us to be bold. Knowing that you have to love your neighbour and God with all your heart is one thing, putting this into practice is another, but that is what counts. Faith cannot be reduced to merely a private matter. Faith is certainly personal but has to be worked out in God’s world. Have a look at the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20) and you will see that our duties to God are followed by our responsibilities towards other people. Loving our neighbours includes the people next door and in the next county and those on the other side of the world, and that must find expression in the public realm.
Prayerful attitudes towards others whom we find difficult are guided by the example of Jesus. He did not lash out at those who vilified, assaulted and finally crucified him. Every day brings with it new challenges, so the questions we must ask ourselves are:
Bible

We are currently in a strange situation. Bible sales are up, but the number of people reading the Bible is going down. Even stranger, this situation is nothing new. There has always been a difference between the number of people who own a Bible and the number of people who regularly read their Bibles.
