“The way you treat the Word of God, is the way you treat the God of the Word. So the burden I have always had is to be in the scriptures. I know in my life that I hear from God and I try to be obedient, but if I don’t hear form God, I’m off on my own tangents.” – Rick Perren

Seek First – Cynthia Terry

“What I learned is that, if I wanted to know God, not about him but really know him, I had to move. I had to make a choice and I had to seek him. I had to run after him with abandon.
