Bible Study Methods

I am currently reading an awesome book/study manual by Dr. Rick Warren who wrote The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? (Purpose Driven Life). If you haven’t read it you should, but I am now reading his book Rick Warren’s Bible Study Methods: Twelve Ways You Can Unlock God’s Word“. This book is proving to be quite an amazing study tool for my Bible study time. I liked it so much I thought, hey why don’t I share this with the reader’s of Mom-Daughter Connection and my Beauty by Design Ministry followers. So here’s a little taste of what I’ve learned so far.

There are some steps you should take in Bible Study, which more often than not we probably are guilty of not doing. Here they are:

1. Observing: seeing the facts.
2. Asking Questions: discovering additional facts.
3. Interpreting: analyzing what the text means.
4. Correlating: the Bible truths you know and cross referencing them with other verses in Scripture.
5. A conclusion: applying to your life in a practical way the truths you have studied.

This is just some of what I am getting from this book, I will be sharing more later, so check back. I’d also love to hear about your Bible study methods or books or tools you use to help with your study time. Leave them in the comment section below.
