The Holy Spirit guides us into God’s truth.

Read His Word with focus, and a commitment to obey.

He will speak to you directly from His Word.

Do what He says.

MIRROR

The Bible mirrors God’s truth to us.

We read what we should be and see what we are. 

Read the Bible.

It will keep you on God’s Road-the straight and narrow.
