More Than Bread
It's not enough to get into God's Word, we need to let His Word get into us. "More Than Bread" is a podcast featuring Pastor Dan Nold from Calvary Church in State College, PA. It focuses on simply reading the Bible (with a few comments) in the hopes that listening to God's Word, learning from God's Word and leaning into God's Word will shape our hearts, minds, and souls to bring us life. As Jesus said, "We do not live by bread alone, we live by every Word that comes from the mouth of God."
More Than Bread
Lent Series #5 -- Nehemiah 1:1-11 -- God break my heart for the things that break yours...
When I look around it seems like the people who really live life, the people who make a difference, the people I want to be like, are people who deeply care about
something that matters. Bob Pierce was the founder of World Vision, what has become one the largest Christian relief and development organizations in the world today. But it all started with a holy discontent. One day as a young pastor in Korea, Bob watched with disbelief as a young girl in third world Asia died while standing in line for food. When Pierce tried to find out why, he was told there just wasn't enough food at the head of the line. That birthed a sacred frustration in Bob's heart and he wrote in the margins of his Bible, "God break my heart for the things that break your heart."
I believe we each have a holy discontent with our name on it, a broken place that God will call us to serve, maybe even rebuild. But we won't find that place without a soft heart. And so we pray like Pierce, "God break my heart for the things that break yours."
