Reading and Studying Your Bible

Just about every Christian resolves at the beginning of each year to try and read through the Bible. As we should! The Bible is is the inerrant, infallible, authoritative word of God, literally “God-breathed” (2 Timothy 3:16), and sufficient for all Christian Living! We don’t want to miss a word of it!

“Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.”- Luke 4:4
