Like rivers, may we never stagnate but continually move toward the Lord, allowing His grace and knowledge to overflow within us.
Why Should We Study the Word of God?
Let's begin by addressing the question that lays the foundation for our venture into Bible study: Why should we study the Word of God?
In 2 Timothy 3:13-17, we find the perfect answer. This passage tells us that Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness. Through the Word, we become equipped for every good work, and we are protected from the deception of the world. It's a treasure trove of wisdom, guidance, and solace, serving as our compass on life’s windy roads. And, when darkness evolves around us, a light will break through.
Psalms 119:105 proclaims, “Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light on my path”. And, as you make this commitment, remember that it's not just about studying the Bible; it's about building a deeper, more intimate relationship with your Creator, who loves you unconditionally.
Now, as we're standing on the precipice of this wondrous journey, what might hold us back?

It's a question that often lingers in the hearts of many women: "Where do I begin?" The sheer size and complexity of the Bible can feel overwhelming, but remember, we have a God who is eager to guide us. So, let's break it down together.

So, sister, let us dive into the miraculously effective gift from God, our Bible, with hearts full of desire and determination.

Who can you help by showing them the importance of intimate and personal time in God’s word and presence?
SOAP Method is a simple way to get into a comfortable groove of scripture study. As you discipline and train yourself in effective ways of approaching the word of God, it will become second nature. Wash in His word with SOAP!
SPECK Method is complementary to our SOAP Method. It's a great way to advance your understanding of scriptures through self-evaluation.
Two questions to always keep in mind:
What does scripture say about my God?
What does scripture say about me?
