Maybe for you, becoming a better reader looks like reading more books, and with greater joy and understanding. For others it might mean becoming a more humble, Christlike reader—one who wears his or her learning lightly. There’s something here for everyone as Mike and Matthew share these eight tips from their own life as readers:

  • read with a pen
  • bundle with joy
  • read with others
  • slay your perfectionism
  • read multiple books at once
  • give a book only the level of attention it deserves
  • be fussy about what books you choose
  • read humbly

Scriptures Referenced: 1 Corinthians 8:1-3

The Lord Jesus taught that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness are blessed, and will be filled (Mt 5:6). The key to satisfying that hunger and thirst is the indwelling Holy Spirit – He empowers righteous living and produces the sea change that fallen creatures require. In the words of Chuck Swindoll, “trying to live the Christian life without the Spirit of God is as futile as trying to earn righteousness apart from faith.” In this first of four August episodes on Romans 8, Mike & Matthew also discuss how the law relates to our Christian life, an important point of confusion for some believers today.


Scriptures Referenced:
Matthew 5:20; Romans 8:1-4
