The need for careful and diligent study of the Bible has never been more important than it is today. There is an all out attack on the authority of God’s Word and as believers we need to know what the Word says and how to articulate it to others. This requires the study of God’s Word.
Main Points:
1. First, purposefully set aside some time to study. Without an appointment with God, it’s not likely you and I will find the time. Decide when and where you will study the Bible.
2. Decide what you will study. There is no right or wrong place to get started. You might want to begin to work your way through a book of the Bible, or you might want to study a particular topic such as: wisdom, the presence of God, the power of the Holy Spirit, or dealing with temptation.
3. Learn to ask questions from the text. Like a detective, you are investigating the text. Move slowly, carefully, and deliberately. Look for the plain teaching of Scripture. Discover what it clearly says and don’t be tempted to look for obscure and hidden meanings.
