Woodrow Kroll is dead-on in his assessment of the church's lack of engagement with the Word.

The Bible was written not to satisfy your curiosity but to help you conform to Christ's image.

Leaders are readers, and readers are leaders.

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

God is still in the process of dispensing gifts, and He uses ordinary individuals like us to develop those gifts in other people

Maybe you've attended church for five, ten, or even twenty years, but you've never cracked open the Bible to prepare yourself for effectiveness as His instrument. You've been under the Word, but not in it for yourself.

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.
