0:00.0	devotion is actually driven and enhanced by doctrine. And I personally don't think it would be
0:08.0	enormously helpful to us to have a long series of devotionals that simply left us feeling better
0:15.2	about ourselves. As we approach the end of the year and look to the year ahead, many of us are considering
0:27.2	questions like, what Bible reading plan will I use in the new year, or what devotional
