MY ANSWER Dear Billy Graham: I know that as a Christian I ought to read the Bible, but I have a rj serious learning v-y. disability that 7 makes it hard for L-aq me to read. Is God Billy Graham going to be angry with me because I don't read the Bi- ble? Mrs. D.B.

Dear Reader: No, of course not. God loves you and knows all about your disability and your limitations, and he never expects us to do what we simply can't do. However, have you ever asked yourself why God wants the Bible to be part of our lives? The reason is because he wants us to grow In our faith, and to learn about him and his will for us. To put it another way, God wants us to become more and more like Christ, and one of the primary ways this happens Is through learning the truths of God's word and allowing it to penetrate our lives. As the Psalmist coupon said, "The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple" (Psalm 119: 130).

Ask God, therefore, to help you find other ways to learn God's word. For example, what opportunities are there In your church for discovering God's truth; not just through your preacher, but perhaps also in a class or study group? Do you have a Christian radio station In your area that Includes effective teachers of the Bible as part of its programming? More than that, ask God to give you a hunger for himself, a deep desire to know him and to grow closer to him through his word, prayer and fellowship with other believers. May you say with Job, "I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread" (Job 23: 12). Write to Rev. Graham in care of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, P.O.
