“Thy word have I hidden in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” I think frankly what it means is this: “Thy word have I hidden in my heart,” which means “I obey it.” That’s the important thing. It’s not that you would be able to stand up and by rote be able to give verse after verse. Now that’s wonderful. I hope you won't misunderstand me, that I'm criticizing that. I believe in that. I think it’s a great program that several men are carrying on today getting young people to memorize the Word of God. But we also need to recognize that this means more than that. It means to obey it. That’s what it means to hide it in your heart.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
