We have amazing power and strength at our fingertips
through understanding and applying God's word to our
lives. This discipline looks at the prayerful deliberation
of and digging into the Scriptures in more than just a
cursory read.
"Being a devoted listener to Bible teaching and
preaching means more than passively absorbing what
we hear. Devout listeners know that Chris is present and
that what we hear could change our lives. That said, it
also means that we listen with critical, curious ears, eager
to learn and discover more. And it means that we also
keep our eyes toward Christ and our ears tuned to what
the Holy Spirit might want to convict us on or challenge
us with."
-Caryn Rivadeneira, "Devoted Listening to Scripture"
