God has already told us most of what we need in life -- in the Bible.  God's will is found in God's word.  The more we read God's Word, the Better we can understand His will for our lives.

But, if all we do is read the Bible, we won't retain as much as we need.  We don't remember 90-95% of what we read or hear within 72 hours.  This is one reason I strongly encourage people to take notes on the Sunday message.

Jesus said, "When the Father sends the Advocate as my representative — that is, the Holy Spirit — he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you." (John 14:26)

The Holy Spirit will help you remember what's in the Bible and will remind you of what you need to know.  The more you put the Bible in your mind, the more the Spirit can bring it to the "front" of your mind when you need it.  When you have some verses from the Bible memorized, you'll find that they "pop in" your mind at the right times.  But first, you've got to get it in there!

The more you know the Bible, the more the Holy Spirit has to work with.

This week's memory verse:
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God?  You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price.  So you must honor God with your body."
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
