I know memorizing Scripture can be hard. It’s intimidating, and it’s a hard habit to not only implement but stick to.

Read MoreWhile this gift of God’s Word is nothing short of amazing, I also realize the Bible can seem pretty intimidating. It’s a big book. There’s a lot going on within its pages, and there are a whole bunch of names that are practically impossible to pronounce. Because of all that, it can be difficult to know where to start when it comes to reading and studying your Bible. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t read it all.
