Understanding the Bible as a unified redemptive story dramatically changes the way we approach it.

As we return to Scripture year after year, we are better prepared to see what has been there all along.

If you can’t make time to meet God through the Bible and prayer now, it’s very unlikely you will when (if) life does slow down.

I plan to continue this practice for the rest of my life, for I never outgrow the need for the practical wisdom of this divinely-inspired book.

There are no unimportant words in Scripture. So let us delight in them and preach them all.
