Feeding on the Word

The most basic element of your life is to feed on the Word, by your eyes and mind taking in the words on the page and thereby implanting in your soul so that it can do its transforming work.

This week we're studying Romans 4. Go to this page and open the "Truths for Life" Bible study. Use the boxes on pages 16-18 (I think) to do do your study of Romans 4. Next week, the same for Romans 5. The next week . . .
