January 30, 2020 Randolph Jason

A COMMON MISTAKE TO AVOID WHEN READING THE BIBLE by Sinclair B. Ferguson for Core Christianity Sinclair Ferguson draws a striking contrast between helpful and unhelpful Bible reading. One mistake Bible readers often make is letting their time reading the Bible focus on their own Christian life.
