Brother Keith Daniel shares the powerful testimony of his father's radical transformation and the importance of a life 'soaked' in Scripture. He also navigates the tensions of predestination and offers practical wisdom on seeking God's vocational guidance.

• 1True salvation is the impartation of a divine nature that conforms a believer to the image of Christ.
• 2A life lived out is a more powerful witness to the unsaved than any spoken sermon.
• 3The Bible should be 'devoured' systematically and prayerfully, as it is God's primary means of transformation and counsel.
• 4Theological doctrines must be balanced by the whole counsel of Scripture to protect the integrity and righteousness of God.
• 5Godly guidance is found through a combination of Scripture, common sense, and the clear confirmation of the Holy Spirit.

Practical ways to apply this message to your life.

• Establish a daily discipline of reading multiple chapters of Scripture to 'soak' your mind in God's voice.
• Examine your life to see if those closest to you (family and friends) see a 'staggering' difference caused by Christ.
• When studying difficult doctrines, avoid using single verses to justify a position; instead, read the surrounding chapters and historical context.
• Before making major vocational decisions, check your 'spiritual pulse'—ensure God and His Word are your first priority before seeking signs.
• Pray for the grace to not only read the Word but to weep over it and allow it to break your heart for what breaks God's.

• Thank God for His Word and the truths revealed in this message.
• Pray for understanding and wisdom to apply what you've learned.
• Ask the Holy Spirit to help you live out these truths in your daily life.
• Pray for others who heard this message, that they too would be transformed.
