Keep Reading Your Bible, Even If You Don’t Understand It
Erik Lundeen offers some advice for making Bible reading a regular part of life.

Advice for Reading Romans After Decades of Experience
John Piper suggests five questions for readers to answer when they’re reading the book of Romans.
It’s not just the Mount Everest of Scripture, which it is. It is a whole range of mountain peaks of soaring revelation. If there’s any Scripture to which we should apply Psalm 119:18, this is it: “[O Lord,] open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your [instruction].” (That’s a good translation of torah, sometimes translated “law.”) So, with this sense of expectation and wonder and reverence and thankfulness for the greatest of all books, is there a peculiar angle from which we should come at this book as we read it this year?
