Be assiduous [diligent] in reading the Holy Scriptures.  This is the fountain whence all knowledge in divinity must be derived.  Therefore, let not this treasure lie by you neglected.

From Matthew 4:4:  “But He [Jesus] answered, ‘It is written, One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'”

John Maxwell Quote

You can’t light another’s path without casting light on your own.

From John 12:36:  “(Jesus is speaking) While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light.”

Horizontal relationships–relationships between people–are crippled at the outset unless the vertical relationship–the relationship between each person and God–is in place.

From 1 Thessalonians 4:9:  “Now concerning love of the brothers and sisters, you do not need to have anyone write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another.”

We cannot experience the fullness of Christ if we do all the expressing.  We must allow God to express His love, will, and truth to us.

From Isaiah 41:1:  “Listen to me in silence, O coastlands; let the peoples renew their strength; let them approach, then let them speak; let us together draw near for judgment.”

Our Lord is the Bread of Life.  His proportions are perfect.  There never was too much or two little of anything about Him.  Feed on Him for a well-balanced ration.  All the vitamins and calories are there.

From John 6:35:  “Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life.  Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”
