Psalm 100:4
Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise.
2. Read
Romans 12:2
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
All Scripture is breathed out by God for profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
Information + Conversation = Transformation
I won’t remember every verse I read, but God will remember every verse I pray.
