Get Active as You Read Your Bible!

Far too many Christians get in what I call the "Read it, forget it and get on with your life" rut when it comes to reading the Bible. We know we should read it. We feel guilty when we don't. So ... dutifully we check our plan (and I sure do hope you have a plan!), open (or swipe) to our assigned reading, get it done, and move on with our daily routine. Then we wonder why we don't ever see any forward progress in our faith journey!

I urge you to become an active reader of the Scriptures. It's been said that the Bible is not primarily for information ... but TRANSFORMATION. For this to happen, we must become active in our reading!

So ... what does an active reader of Scripture look like? Check out this brief article, 5 Ways to Active Bible Reading, found on BibleStudyTools.com. I encourage you to write down the 5 Ways ... and then read them before you begin reading. Ask God to help you  become a more active reader of His Word. It will make a huge difference in your life!

Thanks for stopping by . . .
