®        Set A Special Time Set a special time each day to study.   The time selected will depend on your personal schedule or preference.

From the moment we accept Jesus as our Savior and experience the new spiritual birth, our mind will begin to understand spiritual truths in God's Word. Just as a new born baby in the natural world needs physical nourishment from food, a person who is spiritually reborn needs spiritual nourishment. Their food for this spiritual growth and development is the Word of God.

(1 Peter 2:2) Eventually as you stay with it, you will mature spiritually to where you can eat "meat" of the Word of God. This means you will be able to understand more difficult teachings of the Bible: For everyone that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.   But strong meat belonget...
