    Why this page?

    I started this blog as an initiative to help people get into reading the Word of God for themselves. 

    The truth is that our faith is constantly tested, and Satan tempts us daily. In Matthew 4, Satan twists the Word of God to tempt Jesus to sin. But Jesus knows the Word well and doesn't fall for Satan's misinterpretations. Jesus doesn't lose His ability to die a sinless death for our sake and maintains His status as the Son of God.

    Fun Fact: It takes approximately 4 hours to read through the Book of Genesis, and approximately 8 hours to read through book 1 of the Harry Potter series.
