"The whole Bible was given to us by inspiration from God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives; it straightens us out and helps us do what is right. It is God’s way of making us well prepared at every point, fully equipped to do good to everyone." 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (TLB)
This verse perhaps more than any other spells out the benefits of reading the Bible.
Actually our church is continuing it's involvement with the REVEAL survey (a study to discover what really helps people grow spiritually) which our church family took a few years ago. As more churches are surveyed, and number of those surveyed has grown into the many tens of thousands, one finding stands out above all others.
"By far the most catalatytic practice that any Christ Follower canengage in, regardless how new one is to the faith, is Bible reading."
I hope many of you take advantage of this opportunity to create your own personalized online Bible study and then use it regularly. You will find that getting God's Word into your mind, heart, and life will accelerate your life with God and other people like nothing else has.
