Dial Daily Bread

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

Reading stories of human heroism is a popular pastime. And the world is
full of such. But contemplating human heroes doesn’t change one’s heart
or transform a sinner into a saint. Witness: idolizing sports heroes is
vanity.

But here’s a miracle known and experienced worldwide in any culture or
language: reading Bible stories does change the heart; in the process
it makes a bad person become a good one. It’s proof of biblical
inspiration.

Modern cell phones are a phenomenon: with the right one and the right
service, you’re in touch with almost anyone anywhere in the globe. With
the Bible in your hands and in your heart, you’re in touch constantly
with the noblest and best people of the human race of all time. No,
it’s not through Spiritualist séances; you don’t communicate with dead
people--the Bible condemns that as contact with evil angels who fell
from heaven with Lucifer, the devil. What happens instead is that
through your reading the Bible with a heart that believes in Christ you
experience actual identity-fellowship with those Bible characters of
all ages--through the work of the Holy Spirit. You identify with them
in their experiences of learning to know God. Not through the cinema
screen, but through the Holy Spirit you enter into their knowing Him.
It’s beyond the realm of normal fellowship with humans, but through the
Bible “he that walketh with wise men shall be wise” (Prov. 13:20). By a
heavenly osmosis more real than any earthly science, you receive the
life of Christ through the Bible. Cherish that hunger and thirst for
righteousness; the Lord promises that you shall be filled (Matt. 5:6).
