The New Testament

Our church is experiencing the New Testament together over 40 days of reading divided into 8 weeks.  I can't even explain how great it is to look at the works of the Lords people during and after the time of Jesus.  The study is called "The Books of the Bible" and they lay out the new testament without the formatting of books and versus and just gives you the story.  A story that you just want to sit down and read like a novel and yet it gives you a whole new perspective of the events. A song that came on the radio last night more than one time by Addison Road called "What I Know of Holy" really puts into perspective of how this study is making me feel.  We are at Day 17 in this story and I am already gaining so much more beyond the stories I grew up learning by seeing it as a whole story.  This is something I suggest if you have the time to read to really do it!

I'll leave you with the lyrics of the song "What do I Know of Holy" by Addison Road.

I made You promises a thousand times
I tried to hear from Heaven but I talked the whole time
I think I made You too small, I never feared You at all, no
If You touched my face would I know You?
Looked into my eyes, could I behold You?

What do I know of You who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood but the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury? Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

I guess I thought that I had figured You out
I knew all the stories and I learned to talk about
How You were might to save
Those were only empty words on a page
Then I caught a glimpse of who You might be
The slightest hint of You brought me down to my knees

What do I know of You who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood but the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury? Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

What do I know of holy?
What do I know of wounds that will heal my shame?
And a God who gave life it's name?
What do I know of holy of the One who the angels praise?
All creation knows Your name on earth and heaven above
What do I know of this love?

What do I know of You who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood but the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury? Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of Holy?
