Do we keep it center in our heart and constantly in our sight? Like stated in the verse above, there is lots of healing and health that can be found through the Bible, in Christ. If we look at the Bible as God\u2019s Word, a form of communication from God to us, I think we will find much more in there than if we look at the Bible as some old collection of ancient stories. No matter how someone views the Bible, I don\u2019t think anyone can read it cover to cover and not be changed in some way. The Bible enhances our relationship with Jesus, gives us the secrets to a fulfilling life, and if we practice the principles that it teaches, makes us better people to be around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf Christians knew the benefits of memorizing Scripture, we would make it a priority.\u201d -Paul Chapman<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe primary purpose of reading the Bible is not to know the Bible but to know God.\u201d -James Merritt<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dad Joke of the Day:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What did the nut say when it was chasing the other nut?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m a cashew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have a great Wednesday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Morning!
