The Price of Searching the Words of Isaiah Are you unreservedly committed to keeping Jesus’ commandment to search Isaiah’s words? Are you willing to devote four or more hours per week for an indefinite time period of time? Are you open to learning new ways of studying layers of truth embedded in the scriptures? Are
