Resources
Before I share some of the many resources available to study the Bible, I am reminded of Acts 17 when Paul and Silas were in Berea. The Bereans were eager to examine the word to see if indeed Paul was teaching the truth! Whenever we encounter teachers of God’s word, we should study the Bible for ourselves to make sure that it is in alignment with what God said.
