Bert's Good Stuff

READ!

There is an enormous amount of false teaching in the world today. Scripture said there would be! Lies sincerely told, and believed, do not make truth. So how to know what to believe? There is only one source of absolute truth.. God's Word. So it is really important to 'pickle' in it. It's similar to the ability to recognize counterfeit money by much study of the real thing.

This is also motivation for reading great books, by godly authors --- like THE REST OF THE GOSPEL, by Dan Stone, and SAVING LIFE by Major Thomas, HEART OF THE PROBLEM by Henry Brandt, THE GOD YOU CAN KNOW by Dan Dehaan, 31 DAYS OF PRAISE by Ruth Myers, HUMILITY by Andrew Murray, GOD'S BEST SECRETS by Andrew Murray, and HIS INDWELLING PRESENCE by Norman B. Harrison, are some that have greatly influenced me.

Without 'meaningful meditation' in God's Word and great books, you are vulnerable to devastating deception.

C. S. Lewis once said: "It is one of the commonest of mistakes to consider that the limit of our power of perception is also the limit of all there is to perceive. Good! And a similar truism is that "We only know in part." So to increase our perception of the 'whole'....we gots to read...LOTS, and often, and daily-and spend quality time with others who do the same.

Reading is far more valuable than listening/watching. So READ!
