Bible Intake
Central Idea
No spiritual discipline is more important that the intake of God’s Word. Nothing can substitute for it. There is simply no healthy Christian life apart from a diet of the milk and meat of Scripture. Only as we read and study the Bible can we appropriate what God has for us. We do this through hearing, reading, studying, memorizing and meditating on Scripture and by applying what we learn to our daily lives.
The Importance of Bible Intake
In the Bible we learn the ways and will of the Lord. We find in Scripture how to live in a way that is pleasing to God as well as best and most fulfilling for ourselves.
