“For even as a house without walls and windows, and other neccessary furniture, is accounted forlorne; so that is a very forlorne and naked conscience which is destitute of the knowledge of the Word. And as it is an easy matter to lead the blind out of the way, so the ignorant are easily led and taken in the snares of the devil. And this reproves the negilgence of such who are not careful to apply themselves with all diligence to the study of the Word: our negligence herein being the cause of the barrenness of knowledge in these plentiful times.”
Elnathan Parr on Diligence in Studying the Word of God.
“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)

This is so true. There is no book like the Bible. It gets inside your soul and heart when you read it. And whenever I read the Bible it brings me much peace, and comfort. That is why I always read each verse and commentary twice. I love reading the Bible. It is sharper than any 2 edged sword. The word convicts us and shows us where we have unknowingly sinned, and we must be careful that we don’t let the devil beat us over the head with it as condemnation. We will be able to overcome the devil by the grace of God.
