GQ's list of 21 Books you don't have to read - they got at least one wrong!


Many years ago GQ magazine placed the Bible on its list of "21 Books You Don't Have to Read." This is quite a ridiculous stance even in terms of literature never mind ethics and morals. 
Here are some quotes from famous people about the Bible - they are not all Christians but they testify to the value of reading the Bible:

Christ the Head - He has first place in everything - Col. 1:18




Days portion for reading – Col 1:1-20

Christ the Head – He has the first place – Colossians 1:18

Today we begin to look at another New Testament letter where the Lord Jesus is described three times as ‘the head’. It is clear that the truth about the Lord Jesus as ‘head of the church’ is an important one especially where a local church is involved. In the New Testament every local church is an independent unit, responsible alone to God for the way its affairs are managed. In each local church there should be elders (appointed by the Holy Spirit and recognised by the members of the local church – Acts 20:28, 1 Thessalonians 5:12, 13, Heb 13:7, 17). These elders answer to God for how they care for the people of God. They are described as shepherds (caring, feeding and protecting God’s people), overseers (those that watch over God’s people) and elders (men of maturity). While local churches should have fellowship with each other they are answerable to God.This group of men in each local church answer to the chief Shepherd, the Lord Jesus (1 Peter 5:4).
