“‘Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
–Matthew 4:4
In Greensboro, North Carolina, there’s an institute called the Center for Creative Leadership that exists solely for the purpose to advance the understanding, practice, and development of leadership all over the world.
The institute conducted a study to determine how ideas are transmitted from person to person. They looked at secular organizations, government entities, and churches, and found that the most effective way of communicating truth to an individual and having him or her retain it is by telling compelling stories.
As we read the Bible, we see that’s how the authors (and the ultimate Author) communicated truth to us as well. Yes, there are some sections that are theological treatises, but more is actually communicated about God through story than any other way!
The Scriptures were designed for the real purpose of us being able to immerse ourselves into them. It’s His story of creation, fall, redemption, and glory that pulls us in and reveals who God really is. Dive deeply into the pages of God’s Word. It’s meant to be savored!
FEAST ON THE SCRIPTURES REGULARLY AND DISCOVER WHO GOD IS AS YOU IMMERSE YOURSELF IN HIS WORD!
