“When all your favorite preachers are gone, and their books are forgotten, you will have your Bible. Master it.” - John Piper
EXPLORE | Now is the Time for Mastery
Have you ever read the entire Bible? Think it better left to a bucket list? Or better yet, the New Year's resolution? Of course the right answer is that the right time to start doing the right thing is--right now.
I will admit, things move a little slow in Deuteronomy and Leviticus. But hey, those were slower times. The thing is, God doesn't do 'unnecessary.' Those books, along with the others, are meant as a whole, for our understanding of what He has chosen to reveal about Himself specifically. And if we're to handle life properly, we'll need to be understand what God says about how we should go about doing that. It makes perfect sense. The time for mastery is now.

Get the whole story. Unleash the power of the whole book. Let's get to it.
