Teaching that impacts is not head to head, but heart to heart.
Experience is not the best teacher; evaluated experience is.
You are either in the Word and the Word is conforming you to the image of Jesus Christ, or you are in the world and the world is squeezing you into its mold.
You can impress from a distance, but you can only impact up close.
The Word of God was not written to satisfy our curiosity; it was written to # change our lives.
That's the way to come to the Word of God. Read it as though it were His love letter to you.
