The Bible is a living book.

As we begin to live in the Bible each day, we find that the Bible begins to live in us.

Join Scott Pauli as we study simple principles for getting into God's word and ask the Lord to make his truth alive in you today.

Doctrine is not a dirty word. Occasionally, I hear some church announced, come to our church.

We don't talk about doctrine.

Why would you go to a church that didn't believe or teach anything? That's why I go.

Well, doctrine is not just found at the church house, it's to be found at our house.

Doctrine is not just what your preacher may give on Sunday.

We're in 1 Timothy chapter 4 and verse number 13 where Paul says,

word of God today. And if you haven't, I hope you'll sometime today set aside a time and a place,

open the Word of God, ask the Lord to speak to you and just read

the Bible you may read it out loud that may help you to concentrate pay attention but read the

word of God and allow the Lord the opportunity to speak to your heart then he goes beyond that

not only should the word of God be read it should be preached and it should be taught,
