Consecration to Covenant
Consecrating our hearts as we enter covenant with the Lord is the sacred act of setting ourselves wholly apart for Him. It is surrendering every chamber of the heart—our affections, desires, thoughts, and will—to be governed only by His love and truth. This consecration is not a one-time ritual but the decisive moment when we…

So much more than just reading the Bible!
Understanding scripture is so much more than just reading. Reading scripture is only one part to properly understand scripture; before this semester’s class, I wouldn’t have known the difference.
