Begin with what is true
And we want to talk about how someone like you who knows the word really, really well, can get even more out of it. If you are more of a casual Bible student, a bit more hit and miss, maybe you read the Bible with some regularity, but maybe you're not super clear on the difference between simply reading and actually studying, we can show you how to make that connection better.
And I promise, if you put into place some of the things you hear today, you will connect with God in a better way than before.
See God more clearly
Oh, a little reading here or there, or 10 minutes in the morning before I go somewhere, I forget halfway through the day everything that I read. Well, I think the other three observations we will make today are going to change a lot of that for you.
But even if all you were doing was focusing on reading each day, and even if you felt like you forgot it, it would change you over time, especially if you're reading about Jesus.
Let faith shape the response
I actually switch the Bibles and do something different, but then I send the kid away and I ask the room, how do we do that? One of those Pew Bibles had baptized and every word like it underlined and read through the whole letter.
If you would be interested in having important themes and words and ideas already marked for you so that you could find them in an instant and then multiply that throughout the entire Bible, then I hope you will check out Color Bible Marking.
Live it today
Go through the first John Color Bible marking videos as a family or at least compare your markings with one another. If you have brothers or sisters in Christ that you text frequently or maybe share Bible reading programs with, communicate about biblical themes and ideas.
A major shortcoming in the Christian life today is that we talk to God's people about everything on the planet except sometimes God's word.
