Reading the Bible can be intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. God is a genius, and he left us a key for practical, life-changing Bible study. If you try to open your Bible to the exact center, there’s a good chance you’ll land on it. Psalm 119 is a masterwork of literature. It’s the longest chapter of the Bible, strategically placed as if to say, “Don’t miss this”! It’s the place in scripture that talks the most about scripture. The psalmist teaches his students what to search for when they read and what they can expect if they practice what they’ve learned.

Worship is the culture of Heaven. When we worship, we become cultural ambassadors of heaven here on Earth. Worship was never supposed to be relegated to a few songs at church before the pastor preaches. It is the catalyst that activates every aspect of a disciple’s life. In the Old Testament, when God revealed himself to his people, often they would respond by building an altar in his honor. These altars served a dual purpose: Both as sanctuaries of worship where God’s glory rested and as monuments to what He had done there.
