.Pick up the nearest book
(of at least 123 pages).
Open the book to page 123.
Find the fifth sentence.
Post the next three sentences.
Tag five people.The first (and closest) book would be a journal I just got today. Yes, it has more than the required 123 pages. However, at the moment they're all blank. Hmmm, guess I'll try again.
Let's see now. Where's my Calculus book? That ought to provide Craver with some light hearted reading. If his head doesn't hit the keyboard by the end of three good sentences of proofs, he would have to be a math major! Hmmm. Probably not in line with the idea of this "tag" though. The Calculus book is not close at hand anyway. Oh well, guess I'll try again.
OK, I found one....
Page 123 is near the end of chaper 14 entitled "Good News Faith".
The wrong concept of God generally comes from the inability to separate the old and new covenants. Most Christians have mixed the two together and are trying to relate to God on the basis of a perverted covenant. In Psalm 78:37 God explains that Isreal's problem wwas a heart problem: "For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant." Likewise, we are not stedfast in this new covenant.From the book: "The Gospel of Peace" by Dr. James B. Richards.
Because we are not stedfast in the new covenant, we are quick to pervert it by mixing it with the old. We are continually looking to the Old Testament to understand how God will relate to man....
Now, who to tag... Ornery's Wife, Julie, Llama Momma, Celine JS , and imac

A blank journal. That's hilarious, dude!
Interesting quote, to say the least. Have you read Dr. Richard's book? What's your take on it?
I like how you showed the process of book picking. It's fun to do these things in a humorous way!
You have some bling at Miller Manor. Stop by for a "kiss" :-)

Hi Craver,
Yep, I think my ornery nature peaked out a little bit in that post.... ;-)
"The Gospel of Peace" is a very good book. It has challenged some of my Assembly of God theology, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Nope - I haven't made it all the way through the book yet. It's one of those that that causes me to stop and ponder for awhile on what was said...I put it down, ask a bunch of questions [Do I agree? Is that what the Bible really says? Why have other ministers not taught this? If what they have taught is true, why isn't it working in my life? (joy, peace, etc.)], find some of the answers, then come back to it.
