Asking the Right Questions Can Be a Key to Knowing and Living the Bible

When it comes to reading the Bible, do you open it ... quickly read through whatever your daily plan tells you to read ... and then close it, never giving much thought to what the text actually means? I am guessing that we (and note I include myself in this) all too often rush through our reading just to get it done. Then we put our Bible down (or close the Bible reading app we use) and get on with life. It's no wonder that the Bible does little for us as we seek to live out our Christian Faith.

One powerful tool we can use to reverse this ... and see the Bible come alive (because it IS a living book - Hebrews 4:12) is the ASKING OF QUESTIONS. But to be effective, we must ask the RIGHT questions of the text.

Steve Nichols, former professor of Bible and Theology at Lancaster Bible College and now President of Reformation Bible College, chief academic officer for Ligonier Ministries, and a Ligonier teaching fellow, has some very insightful comments. Find them here in his blog post, Don't Miss the Point: Questions to Ask While Reading Scripture. It's good stuff! 

Thanks for stopping by . . . and don't forget to SEIZE THE DAY by knowing an living God's Word!
