We hope you'll join us as we stand in the rain!
"Stand in the Rain" is a three-year Bible reading program which will begin at LAC on October 1, 2009. The reading schedule will be printed in booklet form and posted on the LAC website.
The objective is individual spiritual growth through personal Bible reading. We will promote this effort through the small groups and an advertising campaign featuring Ben Walker (of course!) and a cast of thousands! Franklyn and Shellster and Pastor Joe will blog through the three years to help maintain interest and understanding.
If you want to see why this Bible reading initiative is called "Stand in the Rain," just look up Isaiah 55:10-11. There you will see that Bible reading has a purpose. The purpose is to grow us!
As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11)
Bible reading has a purpose. That's God's promise.
