Right now, here's Pastor Rick Warren with the final part of a message called

How the Bible Changes Us.

The next time you get discouraged, the next time you feel fatigued,

you're run out of energy, you're just out of, you know, pizzazz.

Why don't you come home and instead of turning on the television, try reading the Bible.

And see if that doesn't have a little bit more. Why?

Because this has the power to change your life.

It has the power in it, the God's power to make changes.

Television can tell you what to do. It doesn't have the power to give you to do it.

Now this will elevate your mood.

And that's why every day you need to spend a little bit of time alone with God.

We call it a quiet time.

You don't, I don't care what you call it. Daily devotional, personal inspiration time.
