So the first reason for studying Scripture is that it is a means of spiritual growth. There is none apart from the Word. It is God's primary tool to develop you as an individual.

There's no one without significant creative potential.

It Bible opens up the doors in your life, and provides a purifying dynamic to help you clean out sin and learn to conform to God's will.

Has it ever occurred to you that love is the greatest positive force in existence?

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

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

The goal is not to make you a smarter sinner but to make you like the Savior.
