I wrote some days earlier that I hated Romans - a book in the bible, not the people from Rome - with a passion. To me, it was the most confusing and jumbled mess I have ever seen. I couldn't wrap my head around it, and after reading Acts previously, I was disappointed that it had turned into something so difficult.
Yet, I still read, because it's become very important to me to be consistent in my bible reading.
I have, today, only read chapter 14. Surprisingly, it was one of the most thought provoking chapters I have come across. Definitely, it sheds light on a good many subjects, as well as gives me answers and an interesting viewpoint on my own beliefs, if not beliefs in general. Not only that, but the last few lines about Faith were the most impacting about the entire chapter, if not the most impacting I have ever read.
I digress on talking about it here, but if you are at all a believer in the bible, then I suggest this chapter to be something you read, ponder over, and take into great account on how you conduct your daily lives.
I'm not one that's good at memorizing scripture, but I'm hoping that with enough thought I will be able to remember the teachings I have discovered while reading a single chapter of the bible.
How efficient.
