Hey, Quest!
I've been reading my bible a lot lately, especially the Matthew, and, after a while, it just sorta became routine, you know? Like brushing your teeth-it's good, and you know you should do it, but it's more out of habit then not being able to wait.
So, what I started doing is reading the section and doing the inductive bible study. I would find out the literal meaning. (I'm reading about a lot of miracles right now.) Then, I would look for a symbolic meaning. For example, if I read about the cure of a blind person, I would read it first like it is, then read it, pretending that the 'blind' could refer to us, who can't see God or the way.
Anyway, don't know if this is new, but I think it helps me get more out of it, because I can apply it more to my life.
Keep up the good works, guys!

You said you go to Ursuline, right? If you can, you should come to the Bible Connections club meeting (the bible study me and some friends started) next Tuesday after school in SU2. If you can't, no worries, but I think you'd like it. Right now, we're reading through James, so it's a little similar to what we did in quest, but I still think you should come if you want to! Next Tuesday after school! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! How long does it usually run?
ReplyDeleteIt will probably be about 30 minutes! If you tell me your email, I can add you to the club list :)
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be there! Thanks so much for inviting me!
