“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness…” [2 Timothy 3: 16]
Through the regular practice of scriptural meditation, we develop an inner ear that allows us to recognize God's word that speaks directly to our most intimate needs and aspirations.
When we listen to a sentence, a story, or a parable not simply to be instructed, informed, or inspired but to be formed into a truly obedient person, then the Book offers trustworthy spiritual insight.
The daily practice of lectio divina (sacred reading), over time, transforms our personal identity, our actions, and our common life of faith…. Scripture does have a personal word for us, yet knowledge of historic Christian teaching helps us avoid the easy trap of wanting scripture to support our own designs.
Read the Scriptures with Love because the eternal lover has a message for you.
May God Be Praised.
