BENJI Good morning! I’m Benji Riddle – Director of Youth Ministry at Central United Methodist. It’s Monday again! It seems they just keep coming around. Let’s kick off this week, and this month, the right way. The Bible is God’s Word to us, but sometimes we try to make it say something to fit our desires, turning it into Our Word. A young man had just gotten his license. He asked his dad if he could use the car. His father said, "I'll make a deal with you. You bring your grades up, study your Bible a little, and get your hair cut and we'll talk about it." After about a month the boy came back and asked. The father replied "Son, I've been really proud of you. You have brought your grades up, you've studied your Bible diligently, but you didn't get your hair cut." The young man waited a moment and replied, "You know Dad, I've been thinking about that. You know, Samson had long hair, Moses had long hair, Noah had long hair, and even Jesus had long hair!", to which his father replied, "Yes, you're right, and they also WALKED everywhere they went!" May we let the Bible give us direction and be encouraged that God’s Word is a lamp to our feet and light to our path.
