I’ve read my Bible today–now what?
Filed Under Bible, Christian Living, Reading
I want people to read the Bible. I encourage our congregation to adopt a plan to read through it each year and provide model for doing so. BUT I must also urge others and myself not to read a few chapters and walk away, having fulfilled a dry duty.
Making the blog rounds these days are a set of seven questions from Dr. T. David Gordon–questions to assist you in meditating on the Word of God and making it more profitable in your life. At the end I will provide an additional question:
1. What does this passage of scripture reveal about God for which he is to be adored or praised?
2. What does this passage of scripture reveal about God for which he is to be thanked?
3. What does this passage reveal about my duty to love God?
4. What does this passage reveal about my duty to love my neighbor?
5. What does this passage reveal about my duty to love a brother or sister in Christ?
6. Does this passage expose my sin, so that there is something specific for which I need to repent, in thought, word, or deed?
7. Does this passage expose my sin, so that there is something specific for which I must be watchful, lest I sin in thought, word, or deed?
AND, let me add one more:
8. How does this passage help me see and savor the Lord Jesus Christ?
