Written by Pastor Jack Wellman15 Wonderful Quotes about the Power of Bible Stories
If you grew up in church, then you probably heard all the classic stories about Noah and the ark, and little Zacchaeus in the tree, and how Jesus was born in a manger. But why do we stop reading these “childhood Bible stories” when we get older? After all, Jesus taught by telling stories. The Bible is God’s great love story to us. I encourage you to try reading the Bible like a child again, and learn from those great stories of heroes of the past.

Now, as always, God discloses Himself to "babes" and hides Himself in thick darkness from the wise and the prudent. We must simplify our approach to Him. We must strip down to essentials (and they will be found to be blessedly few). We must put away all effort to impress, and come with the guileless candor of childhood. If we do this, without doubt God will quickly respond.
