3 Hidden Challenges to Studying Scripture
Travelers Rest Discipleship & Groups; Central Generosity
Description
We would all agree that studying Scripture is one of the most important spiritual disciplines we can have as believers. But if we’re honest, it seems to be the most difficult spiritual discipline to actually do regularly and well. Scott and Whitney dive into what keeps us from studying the Word and how we can better receive it as God intended.
Key Points
- Knowing how to study the Bible is important, but it’s usually not the main reason we don’t study our Bibles more.
- Primarily, we lack devotion to God and view the Bible as a source of information instead of a letter from a person seeking to have a relationship with us.
- We as a culture lack a strong sense of curiosity, which limits our ability to engage with Scripture and learn from it holistically.
- We also struggle to apply what we learn from Scripture, so it’s easy to assume that it’s not impacting our lives.
