Today many Christians do not read the Bible and some of them even consider works in the Bible just fables. However, the Bible is the Word of our living God.
In Manmin Central Church, it is not hard to find people who are reading the Bible since the whole church is in Bible study fever. Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee had emphasized that the members should memorize a verse and read a chapter a day. Before the beginning of 2014, he urged everyone to read every book of the Bible for their spiritual growth. He has also taught how to read the Bible in detail.
He told them to read aloud starting from the New Testament that they are more familiar with, write down God's commands such as 'Do', 'Don't', 'Cast Away', and 'Keep' things which they hadn't obeyed, pray with the Words written, and cross out their notes if they come to practice them.
Dr. Lee stressed the importance of reading the Bible once again during District, Sub-district, and Cell Leaders' Devotional Service on February 2, 2014. This is because it is the shortcut to checking faith and achieving the heart of spirit which is the heart of the Lord.
All church members, from children to elderly members, live happily in the grace and emotion that are given through the Bible. They read the Bible while taking notes of what they hadn't thrown away or obeyed, and then pray to obey the Word. They read it late at night, at early dawn, or during break time. Whenever they have spare time, they read which makes their love for the Lord grow.
Deacon Sangcheol Lee, aged 49, in 2-5 Men's Mission stated, "I read the Bible aloud clearly whenever I am free and before going to bed. Because I am concentrating while reading, I am receiving a different level of grace from the past readings and the scenes in the Bible are brought to mind in my heart."
"I realized the love of the Lord and the shepherd reading the New Testament. While reading the Old Testament, I can't sit in a comfortable position. Now I am reading it on bended knees. I am so happy to receive grace and strength to discover myself," said Deaconess Aeja Kim, aged 50, in 3-1 Women's Mission.
The church members also pray fervently in Daniel Prayer Meeting held at 9 P.M. every night as 1 Timothy 4:5 says, "For it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer." They run earnestly to grow up in faith.
