BIBLE STUDY

“Your Word is like a lamp for my feet and a light for my path.” Psalm 119:105 NCV

Bible Study CoD, p62

Just open up the Bible a read it.

Write down thoughts and questions.

Read.

Discuss.

Argue.

Think about what it says.

Study forms and builds your mind. You will learn to concentrate better.

You don’t need a seminar, a class, a series, or a book to learn what’s going on in the Bible and exercise its examples in your life. SJ, p120

Spiritual Studies

Read books about faith and Christ. Find out what other people think. How can you learn from other people’s thoughts about God and Christ?

Who do you agree with? Who do you disagree with? Who disagrees with you?

Sunday AMX and other weekly studies (ACCELERATE & Band of Brothers) are examples of group-related spiritual studies.

Helpful How To’s:

· Read in Two’s - two verses, two pages, two chapters, etc

· Memorize key bible verses

· Start a bible study group during lunch period, after school, at home

· Read books that challenge you to think harder than you already do

· Use devotional journals (Fuel journal, DevoZine)

· Use an online devotional

· Go away for an hour by yourself with the Bible or a Christian book; TAG Time - "Time Alone with God"
