“The Lord is the God of the Living. He is the God of the moment. When you are reading the Holy Scriptures, you are encountering God at that moment. That is the moment to act on it.” (Page 8)
“When applying the Bible verses you read only to yourself, you will find plenty to work with, and open the doors of repentance and love of your own heart. This is what God wants.” (Page 8)
“the Scriptures were written to be read aloud, to inspire faith in the listener, not the reader.” (Page 4)
“you will not only retain it better, but it will have a more profound impact on you.” (Page 5)
“we should apply both to ourselves only. After all, we are sinners.” (Page 6)
