May 31, 2022 - Good Morning! It’s Tuesday, May 31.
On May 31, 2010. Chris Haney passed away. Don’t know who that is? No reason you should. But you know his creation. In December, 1979, Chris was a young journalist in Canada. He and a friend decided to play a game of Scrabble, but discovered that some of the letter tiles were missing. So, instead, they created their own game. They called it Trivial Pursuit. It became the “hot” game of the ‘80’s and, to date, has sold over 100 million sets for over a billion dollars. Not trivial at all.
My mom also passed away in 2010. She loved Bible trivia. She had half a dozen games in her collection. I inherited a couple of them. And she had a small library of Bible trivia books. She used them to create her own games, that she used at church fellowships.
The Bible, of course, is much more than just a series of facts, more than a collection of information. God instructs us in James 1:22 to be "doers of the Word and not hearers only." But how can we "do" the Word unless we first learn the Word, study the Word, know the Word.
Psalm 19:7-8. The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
Not trivial at all!
Meet you back here tomorrow,
Bro. David
