Do we read our Bible or do we search it avidly?

One party guest was struck and killed when an out-of-control truck which was part of a street 'take-over' crew crashed into a restaurant in the San Fernando valley area of Los Angeles.
Sad way to go -- at a Halloween party in a restaurant.
Who would think a car would come through the wall and destroy the party??

@sinbach so great! These people are serious. Yesterday I met an Iranian man (in our house church meeting in Sweden) who has been 40 yrs in Sweden. The only person he is in contact with in Iran is his Muslim mother, with whom he's got a tense relationship. He wanted us to pray for both her and him. His eyes teared up when I wanted to talk about Iran with him and what I have heard. For instance that these people are ready to die for Christ. He said that he's been into lukewarm Christian religion in Sweden which has led him away from the Lord, but lately he's wanted to take his faith more seriously.
I read this excellent short devotional today:
“Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you” 1 Peter 5:6-7
Be full of confidence not in yourself or what you can do, but in the Lord and what He can do. Your life, once given to Him, is in His hands, not yours. Live in His strength, not yours. Depend on His resources, not your own.
“Do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.” Hebrews 10:35.
How do you cast your care on Him?
Get out your “fishing pole of faith.”
Tie a hook to the line of your fishing pole.
Take all your cares and put them on a hook.
Cast the line as far as you can into the sea of God’s faithfulness.
Cut the line and leave them out there.
Take “I can’t” out of your vocabulary, and replace it with “God can!”

In light of your podcast with @bethany when I stumbled on this I thought of you
This is pretty distressing reading and very blunt - "Men will be absent from church by 2028 at the current rate" and the departure of men is, according to statistics anyway, "speeding up"
It states Mentioned that men are increasingly not applying to be priests/vicars/ministers etc
Church attendance in the UK has dropped by 50% since 1950, and "has become a place by women for women"
Also, that two thirds of the UK Christian populations do not attend a church.........
Those few quotes made me re-read them several times!
