10 THINGS I’VE LEARNED ABOUT BIBLE READING
We in North America have incredible access to the scriptures in our language. I’ve been all over the world where believers have none of the Bible in their language—and they sacrifice greatly to hear the Word taught anytime they have opportunity. Many of us, though, have more Bibles than human beings in our homes. I have MANY more copies of the Bible than people in my house.

STRENGTHEN YOUR SOUL FOR LIFE’S JOURNEY
While our bodies naturally weaken over time, our spiritual lives can grow stronger without stopping. That’s the promise of sanctification—the lifelong process of growing closer to Jesus and becoming more like Him. It’s not automatic, but it’s deeply rewarding. And unlike physical fitness, our spiritual strength doesn’t have to decline with age.
