    How do we respond to God’s word? Is it a casual experience, or something that we treasure every day we are able? Are we reminded of what God has done because we spend time in His word? How we treat His word is a tremendous invitation to others.

Yet, the interesting thing is, the Bible has absolutely no mention of it at all! ...read more
