God Says

The only way we can know what God says is by reading what He has said in His Word.
Don’t let your Bible gather dust on a shelf. Read it and mark the words as He speaks to your heart and teaches you His ways and precepts.
He will direct you, comfort you, and give you His peace when you read His promises.
