Feeding on Christ
It would be easy to think that the Bible is simply a book of information about God and life, and that we need to read it in order to know what to believe and how to behave. That’s true, but the Bible is so much more than information. It brings transformation.
What are your habits in reading the Bible? What has proved helpful to you? What struggles do you have?
