If you're like me, I imagine there are some books of the Bible you haven't read in some time. But Malachi is no less inspired than Matthew. If all the Bible is inspired by God, we should read it all. But beyond that, we must let the word permeate our lives to the point that we act on what we read. "Don't just listen to God's word," wrote James. "You must do what it says" (James 1:22).
The Bible is like no other book in your library. By absorbing it -- word by inspired word -- we can learn how to live life to its fullest.
