Top Highlights

“ccording to her, we do not know Scripture unless we apply it to life,” (source)

“The difference between reading the Bible and studying the Bible is ‘a piece of paper and a pencil.… You begin to study when you start writing things down.’” (source)

“I find when I read through the Bible, book by book, the Holy Spirit begins to cross-reference the Word of God for me, bringing other Scriptures to mind, and then Scripture becomes the interpreter for Scripture.’” (source)

“If we don’t know the Word, we don’t know God, and we’re just tossed to and fro by any doctrine we are presented with. We’ve got to understand and know his ways, which also helps us to understand the times we’re living in.’” (source)

“listening to teaching should never be a person’s primary source for learning the Bible” (source)
