Stop
and Make a Decision that Your Life is lived by
every Word that comes out of the Mouth of God
The
Christian life is solidified on the Road to Emmaus. What we are
trying to do is to prove to the Lord that we ARE willing to STOP
for a moment and listen.
Eveything we do and all that we have left over to share with others
comes from walking with the Lord Jesus Christ and allowing Him to
explain His Word to us as we walk. Would you be willing to walk
through a chapter of the Bible today -just for practice? Open
one of our Bible Study files and follow these steps:
Step
One
Read a chapter
as if you had just received a love letter from the Person you love
the most. The best way we have found to open up a chapter is to
start by underlining repetitive words.Another helpful habit is to
highlight key words such as the names of God along with other names
of people or places, etc.
Step
Two
Read the Introduction
Sheet. These sheets are designed to save you the trouble of researching
the background of the book.This will help you to relate what you
are reading to the events going on at the time the book was written.
A compilation
of dozens of Bible Encyclopedias, Bible dictionaries, web sites,
commentaries, text evidence and every reference imaginable has been
condensed into a few pages for you. Remember, we are only here to
get you started, soon you’ll be doing your own research and
discovering insights and facts that we have missed.
Step
Three
• Go through
the categories and ask yourself if any of
the concepts in the chapter can be illustrated historically, scientifically,
medically, etc. You absolutely must relate Scripture to life or
you will just be reading words.
• Make
up your mind that there is something in the chapter that can speak
to your life. If you don’t apply what you learn and purpose
to act on it then you are wasting your time. See James 1:23-25
• Now
you are ready to share what you have learned with others. |
