5 Ways To Grow Closer To God

1. Submit to the conviction of the Holy Spirit

John 16:8 says "that when he comes," referring to the Holy Spirit, "that he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgement." We need to obey the voice of the Holy Spirit in our lives, whether he points out a "big sin or a small." The more we obey the voice of the Holy Spirit, the more we tune the ears of our hearts to hear him speaking to us. Yet when we disregard the voice of the Holy Spirit, we cannot grow in grace.

2. Saturate yourself with Scripture

In Psalm 1, God says that "Blessed is the man or woman who meditates on scripture day and night." We need to meditate on scripture daily and approach our reading with a spirit of humility rather than a critical spirit. It's the humble, simple-hearted Christian who will glean the most from God's word.

3. Set aside a few days a year for fasting

Matthew 6:16 says that, "And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces so that their fasting may be seen by others. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full." When we're fasting, it's not this outward show for other people. It's an inward thing. So on these occasions when we fast, we need to deal faithfully with our hearts, we need to search out our hidden sins and repent of them before God, we need to renew our covenant with him, and form new resolutions in his strength.

4. Exercise brotherly love intentionally

We love the members of Christ on earth in two ways. One, we love them not just with our words but with our actions. Two, we love them by not being a stumbling block to the weak of the flock either by our conversation, our conduct or the way we dress.

5. Practice dying to your flesh daily 

Luke 9:23 says, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me."

Our Why

At Lyfebooks, we do what we do out of gratitude for the inestimable grace the Lord Jesus Christ has shown us.

We are saved by grace alone through faith alone. And we are here to proclaim this message:

"For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe." -ROMANS 3:20-22

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Changed my Quiet Time routine from SCATTERED🌪️ to FOCUSED🧘

"I heard about this Bible journal as part of a package for Father’s Day being offered by a local Christian station. I was interested in the brain research it was based on since a ministry I’d been serving with had also used brain studies to determine how to word questions in their Bible studies. I ordered the Scribe Bible Journal and began using it right away. Usually, after just a few days to a couple of weeks, I grow complacent and try a new Bible study or method of reading through the Bible.

I’m in month 3 and I’ve been amazed at how I look forward to spending time consistently in God’s Word. And each passage has given me more insight into how great our a God is and how His Word speaks Truth in everyday situations. I love that this journal is certainly part Bible study, but also through prayers and thanksgiving it acts as a type of diary documenting how His Word impacts my life.

Friends I’ve shared my experiences with have ordered copies for themselves and I ordered the Eight Pack to have journals to give away! Our Lord has used this unique Bible journal at this particular season of my life to encourage me and allow me to encourage believers to study and document their own walk with Him. Thank you for honoring Him with your work!"
