Today's Bible reading is the 1st chapter of the Book of Romans. You can read it here at Bible Gateway: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+1&version=NASB

Like so many others, the first chapter of Paul's letter to the Romans contains a wealth of material from which one might share a thought or two. As I read the chapter I was drawn to Paul's comments about the gospel. He reminds us that it, the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, "is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes". Oh, that His church would listen anew to Paul's inspired words. We need not dress up the gospel message nor dress it down. We need be those who plant and those who water and those who rejoice when God gives the increase. Paul wrote that he served God by "preaching the gospel of His son". And to the believers in Rome he wrote that he was eager to preach the gospel to them. Yes, they are addressed as believers but it is the gospel that he desires to preach to their listening ears. I suppose Paul would have loved the hymn, "I Love to Tell the Story", that would be written many years after his life. But although he had not sung the hymn, he had lived it. In the gospel, Paul wrote to the Romans, the righteousness of God was revealed. What a privilege it is to know the truth of the gospel and what a joy it is to grow in it.
