  • Joni Eareckson Tada Shares Her Heart on the Importance of Scripture

    Joni Eareckson Tada Shares Her Heart on the Importance of Scripture
    Oct 31 2024

    Do you have questions about God’s will for your life? Are you facing circumstances—suffering, disability, uncertainty—that lead you to the end of your rope? For these struggles, and all life’s moments and questions, the Bible is God’s gift to you and all believers.

    Joni invites you, right now, to let the Holy Spirit lead you deeper (or maybe for the first time) into the Word of God. Pray that he will meet you as you listen for his voice and seek out his will in and through your life.

    Join Joni and Ken on the adventure of reading through the Bible! Sign up to get our free Bible reading plan and monthly reflections from Joni. You can also sign up to receive Joni’s Scripture-rooted daily devotional. 

    KEY QUESTIONS:  

    Do you have a daily Bible-reading routine?

    How have you experienced God speaking to you through his Word (the Bible)?

    What does it mean that the Bible is “the sword of the Spirit” (and how can you faithfully wield its awesome power)?

    KEY SCRIPTURES:  

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

    Hebrews 4:12: “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

    1 Thessalonians 2:13 “And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe.”
