Did you know?
Did you know, that the bible teaches followers of Christ to meditate on the Word of God? (Joshua 1:8)
Did you also know, that memorizing scripture is a guard against sin? (Psalms 119:11)
And that both memorizing and meditating on the Word of God, is a way that believers keep their way pure? (Psalms 119:9-16)
You see most believers do not know these things, let alone practice them. Even though the Word of God clearly teaches us to do so.
However, In View of Literacy, has created a free bible workbook that teaches both parents and students how to consistently practice these disciplines of scripture. While also teaching them the spiritual benefits (as outlined in the bible) of these practices as well.
So that as Joshua 1:8 says, their way may be successful (in spiritual matters). And as Psalms 119: 11 says, they will keep their way pure, which is especially needed in today’s culture.
This bible workbook is available for free HERE on this website. Download your free copy today, to begin practicing these vital disciplines of scripture!
