Yesterday I began a series on Victoria Community Church's Core Values. The first core value lays out how we feel about the Bible pretty clearly:
"The Bible is central in our congregation and in our households. The Word of God is the focus of our worship services, the textbook for our teaching ministries, and the foundation of our daily lives. Whether we are preaching, teaching, singing, or just talking, we want to be people of the Word."
As I was preaching on the value of the Bible, I found myself convicted of devaluing my Bible. It's so easy to get busy doing something else, reading something else, watching something else. But there is nothing else that carries within it life like the Word of God.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 says: "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work."
If you'd like to listen to the sermon for yesterday's sermon the audio is located

UPDATE: Speaking of valuing our Bibles, here is a great little fact posted on Gene Veith's blog that gives us some perspective.
