I realized that a lot of people dread bible study and for some, it’s not because they don’t want to, they really do. However, they don’t end up doing it because after procrastinating one day, you’ll want to keep doing just that. We see believers who pray well but don’t read or study their bibles. But the truth is that it’s not meant to be. Prayer won’t cover up your need to study the bible and vice versa. The old-time childhood song that says, “Read your bible, pray everyday if you want to grow” still stands very much correct today. For this reason, I partnered with the Lord of hosts to bring this season of our podcast to you. It’s titled Bible Talks: Rekindling your love for the Bible.
Our aim is that you see all you could be learning if only you give time to study. Our aim is to challenge you to be the workman that needs not to be ashamed because you have studied to show yourself approved. Stay tuned and press PLAY
