3 COMMON EXCUSES

·                I don’t have enough time.

·                It’s boring.

·                I don’t have the discipline to do it.

 

3 REASONS WHY

·                God’s Word will nourish you.

(Matthew 4:4) But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

 

·                God’s Word will teach you.

(2 Timothy 3:16-17) All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

 

·                God’s Word will change you.

(Proverbs 23:7) For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.

 

(James 1:21-22) Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. 22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
