There is nothing wrong with studying Jesus or learning about Jesus. But discipleship is something deeper, higher, greater, and more glorious. Jesus does not say, "Study Me." He says, "Follow Me."

Summer in the Psalms

The Psalms will not only speak to us (like all of Scripture), but speak for us. The Psalms minister to us in a mighty way because they give us language for every season of the soul.
