The genius of the Word of God is that it has staying power; it can stand up to repeated exposure. In fact, that's why it is unlike any other book. You may be an expert in a given field. If you read a book in that field two or three times you've got it. But that's never true of the Bible. Read it over and over again, and you'll see things that you've never seen before.

My great concern for you in life is not that you will fail, but that you will succeed in doing the wrong things.

Our problem is that we are in the Word but not under the Word.

You can impress from a distance, but you can only impact up close.

It's essential to growth. It's essential to maturity. It's essential for equipping you, training you, so that you might be an available, clean, sharp instrument in His hands to accomplish His purposes.

So the real question confronting you now is: How can you afford not to be in God's Word?

If you're just like someone else, we don't need you.
