Triumph Over Suffering

We are the clay; You are the Potter.        – Isaiah 64:8

Bible

All Scripture is God-breathed.            2 Timothy 3:16

         The Bible is the complete truth, words divinely inspired by God.  In order to grow in Christ, Scripture study is crucial.  In order for Bible reading to be effective, it must be

•    Daily.  There is no substitute for immersing in His Word daily.
