100 ESSENTIAL BIBLE PASSAGES

Posted on 18 January, 2005 by admin

I googled by way to 100 ESSENTIAL BIBLE PASSAGES. After visiting a LiFE Group last week and then working through their GROW (i.e. Goals, Reality, Options, Will) questions with them – I’m glad to see their desire to know more of the Bible (most of them are new Christians just baptised or reaffirmed). The spark came partly through Conrad’s “Starting the “Essential 100” post. I guess somehow we need to start somewhere, some extra guidance and baby steps are always good.
