The Need to Read the Scriptures

 

The need to read the scriptures

Surpasses everything

For light and truth then enters

God's love is nourishing!

The lessons are not ancient

They are needed for our day

To listening ears grown patient

Each message now awaits

The path they pave is narrow

By Christ made straight and true

May it, like a pure arrow,

Prick your heart to feel anew!

May faith abound as you read

May repentance be your call

What light and truth do you need?

God knows the great or small!

Priority

"Don't yield to Satan's lie that you don't have time to study the scriptures. Choose to take time to study them. Feasting on the word of God each day is more important than sleep, school, work, television shows, video games, or social media. You may need to reorganize your priorities to provide time for the study of the word of God. If so, do it!"

A righteous life that's consistent

Can be permanently resistant

To the eroding influence of sin

As power and strength builds within

The Transforming Power of Faith and Character

"A consistent, righteous life produces an inner power and strength that can be permanently resistant to the eroding influence of sin and transgression."
