“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2: 15 KJV)
Are you a daily Bible reader? How much time do you spend each day reading the Bible? An hour? Half hour? Five minutes? A minute? No time?

How Cornelius got God’s attention: Acts 10:1-6
