It is not a secret that some of the activities of the churches that are least-attended are Bible studies. Most individuals regard them as boring, and some people think that they are not necessary. Churches in the modern-day give so many activities that are hard for a person to keep up, and Bible study most of the time will be pushed aside while people favor programs that are more amusing and entertaining. The issue is, people will always be bus and no person will change.
The Bible has the power to change the life of a person. It is unfortunate, that people cannot just rub the Bible on their heads and have the expectation that their life will be changed in a mere contact that is physical with a Bible. Bible study includes a study that is actual, which means reading, looking things up, and thinking through the ideas.
Illiteracy that is Biblical is very high in the community and also in churches that confess that they believe in the Bible. For such a reason, individuals that want to study the Bible require to be very careful that they do not take a course that will look like it is the blind who are reading the Bible. There are churches that allow people with knowledge that is scant of the Scripture to offer teachings of the Bible, in the case that any teaching is being done at all.
At this point, a person may be wondering how the Bible will be able to change their life. The Bible says that it has the power of changing the way that people think and the way that people think is a determination of the course of the life of people and what takes place to people along the way. For instance, an individual that values their integrity above their pocketbook is going to live a life that is very different and have experiences that are different when a comparison is made to an individual that has value for money over honesty. The Bible teaches people that forgiveness and the ability to forgive the people that have wrung another person can bring changes in life. An individual that forgives other individuals leads a life that is very different when a comparison is made with a person that harbors grudges and nurse bitterness.
To some people these can be sounding like a bunch of platitudes by Bible study can be engaging in a way that is tremendous. The Bible offers a discussion of issues like murder, rape, cruelty, incest, punishment and also war. The Bible also talks about a man that was imprisoned wrongly, a teenage girl that was kidnapped into slavery, and a man that was beheaded because of criticizing the king.
The methods that are best for Bible study is not for a person to grab a Bible and try to read it cover to cover. The Bible is a book that is dense, complex, and rich.
