We have one hope before this God who is awful and majestic. And it is to hide our unholiness under the blood of Christ, and to hide in the shadow of the Cross.
It is so important to memorize the Word of God. Bob talks about some methods He uses as well as some very important reasons why to memorize the Word of God.
If you will be fruitful in the Christian life and grow in maturity and holiness, you must know the Word of God and be rich in it.
Colossians 3:16 - Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
It is sloppy Christian life if you are not reading your Bible every single day. This is the food for the soul, this is our life, our health, this is where we see Christ.
Bob Jennings exhorts us to be diligent and disciplined in memorizing the Word of God, it is our weapon against sin, our encouragement in trouble, and our lens through which we can see Christ. "I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you." Psalm 119:11
It's not a positive thing that you have a cell phone and you can be reached all the time. There must be seasons in your life where you turn that thing off and seek God.
"Why is it that when we study the books that men have written we study so diligently, but when it comes to the good Word of God we study it so leisurely, so casually!?" - Bob Jennings
The reality is in Ephesians 5:5 that no idolater will inherit the kingdom of God. The sad reality is there are thousands of people who have their Calvinism/Arminianism, and that is their God. It is not about Christ, it is about knowledge. Do not be deceived you will not inherit the Kingdom of God unless you can let go of your pride.
Tim asks Bob the question "If you could live your life over again how would you live different?
Bob talks about having a clear conscience and the utmost importance of such.
Tim also asks Bob - "I have heard you pray for twelve more years, if the Lord gave that to you what would you do with that time?"
Bob also expresses the great need to know the Word of God and to memorize more of the bible. Colossians 3:16 - Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

How should we read the Bible? In this study, Tim talks about different things the believer should have when they come to read and study the Scriptures.
If you're in the Word of God today, then you will be seeing Christ as precious today, and in return, you will not believe the lies of the devil. The Word shows us that Christ is better then everything else.
