Does a Verse a Day Keep the Devil Away? – Rural Reset 4/21 [6]
Host: TJ Freeman
Summary: In this podcast episode, TJ Freeman addresses common dilemmas faced by Christians when starting to read the Bible. He offers practical advice on developing consistent and meaningful Bible reading habits
Key Points:
- Common Bible Reading Struggles: There can be a lot of questions, and varying opinions on how to answer those questions, surrounding studying the Bible.
- The Importance of Understanding the Text: It's important to understand the text directly rather than relying on commentaries or devotionals initially.
- Recommended Study Plan: First do a flyover over the text by reading it all at once if possible. Next read a chapter every day for a week with every chapter of the book. Finally, reread the book and jot down anything that stuck out in the book.
Listener Takeaways:
- Read the ESV translation. It is an easy but accurate translation of the Scriptures to read.
- Start in the book of Ephesians! It is a great place to start for a Christian new to studying the Bible.
- Persevere in Bible study, even when it's difficult to understand or fit into a busy schedule. Reading and studying Scripture is vital for long-term spiritual growth and fulfillment.
