Study The Bible


  1. Read the Bible: Read all of it (Dt 8:3; Ac 20:24). Read it regularly/daily (Ps 1:2; 119:97).
  2. Read commentaries.
  3. Read books (2 Tim 4:13).
  4. Read blogs.
  5. #1: Read relationally (Dt 6:5).
  6. Read and sense that there is one who is reading you (1 Cor 8:3; Gal 4:9).
  7. Read, discuss and share with others in community (Heb 10:25), not in isolation.
  8. Read with meditation, reflection and contemplation because you love God with all your mind, thoughts, feelings and emotion (Dt 6:5).
Martin Luther said, "In truth you cannot read too much in Scripture; and what you read you cannot read too carefully, and what you read carefully you cannot understand too well, and what you understand well you cannot teach too well, and what you teach well you cannot live too well."

In reading the Bible you cannot:
  1. Read too much.
  2. Read too carefully.
  3. Understand too well.
  4. Teach too well.
  5. Live too well.
