01/05/2022 – Remnant warrior men’s group transformation: Where do we start? Henry Halley’s answer and mine too!: Group prayer and Bible study…
When I was updating my “Semikkah7 Reading Plan” guide on the main menu, as to how to get started, I ran across this this single page just prior to the “foreward” page in Henry H. Halley’s “Halley’s Bible Handbook”. I would like to share it with you:
“The vigor of our Spiritual Life will be in exact proportion to the place held by the Bible in our life and thoughts. I solemnly state this from the experience of fifty-four years.
‘The first three years after conversion I neglected the Word of God. Since I began to search it diligently the blessing has been wonderful.’
‘I have read the Bible through one hundred times, and always with increasing delight. Each time it seems like a new book to me.’
‘Great has been the blessing from consecutive, diligent, daily study. I look upon it as a lost day when I have not had a good time over the Word of God.’ – George Muller, of Bristol Orphanage fame, most outstanding example of Effectual Prayer in modern times.’
‘I prayed for Faith, and thought that some day Faith would come down and strike me like lightning. But Faith did not seem to come.’
‘One day I read in the tenth chapter of Romans, ‘Now Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.’ I had closed my Bible, and prayer for Faith. I now opened my Bible, and began to study, and Faith has been growing ever since.’ – D.L. Moody
There you have it. Soli Deo Gloria! Ya gotta touch first base before you reach home plate…
