The flesh requires food to help it grow and remain healthy. In the same regard, the spirit requires its own "food" to help it grow and remain healthy. What is this "food" the spirit requires? It is a communing with God through His Word, the Bible. When the Spirit of God is alive and healthy within you, there is a certain peace with the world that cannot be obtained through anything this world has to offer. If you explore no where else for the Word of God, visit my little refrigerator here of Spirit Food. I'll try to keep my pantry stocked with new things as time goes on. If you ever have any questions about anything, I'll see what I can do to answer your question, or at least try to direct you somewhere that can. In addition, if you think I've missed the point anywhere, or am totally out in left field on something, let me know. I always listen. Go with God.
Your servant in Christ,
George
I firmly believe in the infallibility and completeness of the Holy Bible as it was compiled around 300 A.D., and that no other modern publication or commentary on it is entitled to add to or take away from the Word. All opinions or commentaries I personally present will conform to the Word and most will contain scriptural references to assure you that the opinions given are clear and well-founded. I don't understand everything in the Bible nor will I ever claim to, but I will speak of what I do know with confidence, and try not to throw outlandish claims at you that have little to no basis in scripture. There is too much of that already as predicted by Paul in 2nd Timothy 4:3,4:
NEW!
The Holy Bible - Teleplay Edition - the writer that I am, I most enjoy writing pieces of entertainment, like screenplays, teleplays, stage plays, musicals, etc. This is called a virtual series with a new "episode" each week. This series is based on the Bible itself, and will eventualy go from Genesis to Revelation. Enjoy!

Suggestion for Daily Bible Reading
This scheme of reading the Bible, as it says, will help you to traverse the Old Testament once and the New Testament twice in the course of one year.
An Online Bible - Since I heavily encourage a daily reading of God's word, this list would be incomplete without a link to a Bible you can read right now, where ever you are. This site contains multiple versions in multiple languages. Best online Bible I've found.

I enjoy the parables and various teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ, and offer what I hope to be valid interpretations of such.
