Success
or failure in the Christian life is dependent on how much of the Bible
you get into your mind on a regular basis and how obedient you are to it.
Everything you need to know about God is in the bible. Everything
you need to grow spiritually strong is found in the Bible. Everything
you need to know about how to live successfully is in the Bible.
Everyone's questions are answered in the Bible:
How can I know God?
What does God want me to do
with my life?
How can I find happiness?
How can I handle my finances
wisely?
How should I raise my children?
How should I choose my marriage
partner?
When you read the Bible, read in a spirit of eagerness which seeks
the mind of God. Read in a spirit of humility which listens for the
voice of God. Read in the spirit of adventure which pursues earnestly
the will of God. Read in the spirit of adoration which rests in the
presence of God!
Daily
listen for God's message, whispered
to you from the pages of His Word
God
speaks today... are you listening? You have to know how to listen.
The Bible is God's letter of love to you. Read it daily. Read
it from cover to cover. Read it over and over. If you have
never read it before begin in the book of John, continue through to the
end and then begin at the beginning. The whole book has a message
for you. It is fresh daily.
Begin your reading with with
prayer - ask God to speak to you
Read the passage with pencil
in hand - write down what you think God is saying to you
Meditate on it - think
it through... pray over it... ask God for wisdom
Obey its message to you - once
you know what God wants you to do DO IT!
If
you spend as little as 15 minutes in study a day, in six months you will
be a changed person!
Weekly
Listen for God's message, spoken
from the pulpit of His Church
God
uses various ways to speak to us. One of them is through his messengers.
Find a Bible teaching, Bible believing church and come prepared to listen
and learn. Attend consistently. Do not miss for anything other
than an emergency or an important family event. Place everything
else aside so that you can meet with God and grow to serve Him. Attend
a weekly class, like Sunday School or Bible Study as well as the Morning
Worship Service.
Regularly
Study for answers to perplexing
questions you have
Whenever you have questions God
has answers. If you wonder how to discipline your children, take
extra time to search the Word and apply its truths. Whatever your
question - finances, love, guidance, questionable things... search the
scriptures. Find a concordance and a commentary and begin your search
for Bible Truths so you can live your life God's way. A good online
Bible Search Engine and Commentary is...
