” I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.” Ps 119:11 Storing God’s word in our heart is much more entailing than memorizing scripture.  Storing the word generates a spiritual reaction such that instead of sinning( Hebrew for sin means ” missing the mark”), it compels us […]

Whoever follows […]
