A primary source for quenching your spiritual thirst is daily reading, studying and meditating upon Scripture. Too often we approach Bible study as if it were a buffet table. We pick and choose which passages of Scripture we want to read. If it looks good, if it makes me feel good and if it tastes good, we’ll linger. If we not, we move on. We must …

There is so much God wants to do in your life. So many blessings He wants to pour out upon you.

There is plenty of advice available out there to “help” in your struggle against sinful habits, but if it is not coming directly from God’s Word, it is dead counsel.

“Trust” in the Scriptures refers to having a bold confidence resulting in a sense of total security, surety, and peace. It is placing all your eggs into one basket, a basket someone else is holding.
