#ThriveYear Reading Thursday November 19

Leviticus 19-21. The punishment of sin.
As I have discussed with my own CLG recently, we must remember that the Bible says (in the New Testament) that all scripture is useful for teaching and encouraging.  Every individual scripture we read is beneficial for our lives.  However, we must also remember that while the Bible can be looked at verse by verse, it must also be looked at as one complete work.  When the writers for the various Bible books were writing, they did not write in chapter and verse.  They wrote as one complete work.  
The Bible has large themes that unfold over the course of several books.  The Old Testament is continually pointing us toward our need for Christ.  Today's reading about the punishment of sin should make us eternally grateful!


Take some time today to post a thought online about our reading up to now....Twitter, Facebook, blog, comment...it doesn't matter!  Let someone know what you are doing!
