Word of God

"...man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD" (Deuteronomy 8:3).

God's word is more than a series of books or a codified set of rules. It's a way of life that shapes who we are, what we value, how we live—and what we'll die for. It's a word that drives and sustains us, that provides us with guidance, strength and answers in the face of all life's challenges. It's a word that you need.
