OWEN



Good morning! I am Owen Weddle, Associate Pastor at Central.



In 1982, Sony launched the first electronic device that would use a CD. CDs contain so much information in such a little space. Never had such a density of information been made available to so many. Today we see that trend continue to develop. Except, we don't need to carry a CD; we carry around our phones to search information on the internet that has millions times more information. It is easy to always find something new to grab our attention.



It is easy to forget, then, that there is value in studying something we have heard and seen before. Our desire for novelty can make the 2000 year old Bible seem... well... boring. But just as a CD packs a lot of data in a little space, so too the Bible can pack a lot of wisdom in a few words. However, it takes time to explore it. It isn't instant like electronics. But it is that time to explore that allows you to absorb what you find in the Bible. Just how much do you really remember from all those YouTube videos you watched only once?
May God bless you!
