“Obedience of your confession to the gospel of Christ.” (2 Cor. 9:13)

Obedience to the gospel of Christ presupposes that one reads and knows the gospel of Christ, an important aspect to our salvation. Clerics 

 stress the importance of reading Scripture, but I recently came across President Theodore Roosevelt’s comments on the subject and found them quite interesting. He emphasized the importance of the Bible, stating that a thorough knowledge of Holy Scripture was worth more than a “college education.” He deeply believed that the teachings it contained were intricately intertwined with civic and social life, making it essential for individuals to understand its principles to help guide our lives for the benefit of our nation’s welfare.

I say “Bully” to that!
