A reflection on Bible Sunday from St. Georges Church Chorley
One of the questions I get as a priest from both those who come to church and those who don't is why is God silent? Why doesn't God speak to me and tell me He loves me and tell me what to do. And each time someone asks that my heart sinks… why? Because God has spoken, and is speaking, in the Scriptures. People who ask that question are like those holding a pile of letters from a loved one and at the same time asking why their loved one is ignoring them? The Bible is God’s love letter to the world. The Scriptures are God speaking to the world and all we have to do is open and read. Often I have talked about the importance of prayer, of speaking to God, but of equal importance is listening to God which we do as we read the Bible. If you don’t yet make a habit of reading the Bible and praying then start now.
