Our challenge is to live the Christian values of courage by putting the words of Scripture into action in our daily lives. The Bible is meant to help us to live our best possible life, in line with God’s will. But the words of Scripture are meaningless to us, unless we put those words into daily practice, and that requires courage and commitment. In reality, we are being challenged by God to make the Gospels truly meaningful and inspirational to our lives. Otherwise The Bible, without readers who are inspired to act out the Word, is just another book on the shelf.

Our modern lives can be very hectic and overwhelming. We tend to live in an intense, technological haze of consumerism; advertising and entertainment. We are so busy “making a life” that we have no time to truly live. Often we seem like “human doings” rather than “human beings”. How do we create some space and time for ourselves just to become quiet; to be still and to reflect on what truly matters? Meditation is an ancient practice that helps us to go inward and become still. “Be Still and Know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10 Stillness is the foundation of the soul and the language of the Holy Spirit.
