There is no substitute for the preaching and teaching of God's Word. Each weekday on enjoying the journey, Scott Pauley leads us in a brief study of Scripture.

Paul didn't write chapter whatever, verse whatever.

For the record, I'm glad we have it, or we'd all still be looking yesterday for 2nd Corinthians
