The Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword. Bible reading brings our temporal life and struggles into God’s eternal life and victory. Simply reading the Scriptures brings us into life, power, and focus. With one stroke of the word, we can be brought into...
I thank God for the Bible, for it is how I know the truth. Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins....
