How we read Scripture matters. Just as we ought to have a balanced diet of Scripture, engaging in the whole counsel of God, so we also need to use different methods as we read. God’s love is so rich and deep that we need to sink our roots deeply into His Word, strengthening our relationship with Him.
Do you have a balanced diet of Scripture? Just as we cook an entrée and a side of vegetables to create a well-rounded meal, we ought to be balanced in how we read the Word of God.
What do “magic-eye” pictures have in common with false teachers? Both, in some sense, are counterfeit images—they fool us until we get a clear picture of them.

One cannot begin this process without first knowing who God is.
Of all that God has given us, people are those things who are ends in themselves. Because of this, using our time, talent, and treasure as means to that end—as means to help people trust Jesus and live like Him—has incalculable worth.
