"The Bible was not given to increase our knowledge, but to change our lives."
Dwight L. Moody
"All of our efforts in Bible study are valueless if in the final analysis we do not change our characters and bring them more in conformity with Jesus Christ."
Rick Warren
Studying the bible will change the way we think, which will change the way we are, which will change what we do.

Healthy living
My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body." Proverbs 4: 20-22

Suffering
I relate to this letter by Fenlon.
"I am amazed at the power that comes to us through suffering: we are worth nothing without the cross. Of course, I tremble and agonize while it lasts, and all my words about the beneficial effects of suffering vanish under the torture. But when it is all over, I look back on the experience with deep appreciation, and am ashamed that I bore it with so much bitterness. I am learning a great deal from my own foolishness!"
