HeartCheckTuesday: The Secret to Spiritual Growth That Most Christians Ignore
Did you know that an astonishing 75% of people who call themselves Christians have never read the Bible from cover to cover? Even more surprising, many preachers don’t immerse themselves in the Word beyond what they need for sermons. This disconnect between what is preached and what is practiced often leads to inconsistency and conflict.
Learning the Scriptures is, without a doubt, the most important thing you will ever do. Your entire life—your identity, gifts, and purpose—are directly tied to what God has spoken. What does God say about your life? Jesus found His purpose in the Scriptures and fulfilled every word written about Him, leaving nothing undone (Luke 24:44).
Many people serve God faithfully, love their church, and honor their pastor, but don’t truly love the Word of God. You want financial breakthrough, yet you haven’t studied God’s principles on wealth. You desire favor and blessings, but you don’t know His promises. Everything you long for is so close, yet remains out of reach because the key to unlocking it—knowledge of Scripture—remains unopened. If only you could see how near you are to everything God has declared about your life. The only barrier standing in your way is ignorance of His Word. “My people perish for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6).
The Bible is what will organize your mind, shape your character, and realign your being to God’s will. You must commit to knowing more of God by knowing more of His Word.
Dear heartcheckers, take up this challenge today. Start reading the Bible—without commentary, without notes, and without pressure to understand everything right away. Simply read. In just three months, you’ll be amazed at how your mindset, your speech, and your entire outlook will transform.
Make the Bible your operating system. Let it be the foundation that governs your every decision, your daily thoughts, and your life’s direction.
