Reading the Bible isn’t like reading a book. I know some verses, but always forget where I read it. Then while in service my pastor will say, “turn to -” and may or may not be able to turn to it on time, much less take notes.
I had decided I was going to study a chapter at a time. I actually started taking notes and sending out questions for when I am totally Not understanding what I was reading. It pays to be around others who are on different levels then you are and can encourage you to be your best. I am going to give this “studying the Bible” another chance. Well, I am going to start by learning the BOOKS first and go from there.
