I bought this book from crossings.com:  So far it's pretty good and has helped me in my bible study. It doesn't tell you what passages mean. But it helps for individuals to figure it out on their own. It's real simple, but already I am remembering more and finding my own answers to different scripture. Actually their formula can be used to read just about any book. I have a hard time remembering things when i read them, but I am doing much better now that I started this inductive approach. Anyone else tried it? Anyone have the inductive approach bibles? |

Here is a summary of the book from the website:
"Eager for new tools to help you better understand Scripture? How to Study Your Bible takes the inductive approach and shows powerful ways to study the Bible book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. This dynamic guide enables Christians to discover three time-tested skills: observation, interpretation and application—so they can put their newly found knowledge to work immediately! This unique Scripture study is an excellent guide for new and long-practicing Christians alike! "

Greetings and salutations, Courtney. that book sounds really good..... my pastor is the best in the world. he sits us down and goes verse to verse, and includes many other manuals and maps and even interprets the languages spoken at the time of each scripture.
Tonite is the night of street mission. We meet up at the church (one of the many missionary churches we have on association) and go out to missionary on the streets. I am looking forward to it.
talk to you soon, sister.....

Hi, Courtney
We meet up, deacons, deaconesses, ministers, etal, and any of the bible-learned brethren. What we really do is decide on what it is that we need to talk on. How we can approach. We pray together first, asking the Holy One's Spirit to guide us and put the words in our mouths. And to provide us with the scripture, so that when we witness, we can show and prove. it is not so simple, and people tend to go buck on us, like certain ones. but Christ never said it would be easy. You know, if you want to get invovled like that, go to a missionary baptist or apostolic congregation. don't worry about the dogmatics or the stigmatics or the rules. that's for the pharisees in church, and it is a tool with which to divert the attention of the devotee. all that matters is that the church/temple is all about missionary work usa and abroad. And feeds and houses those around them by any means disposable.
Sister, you will find your mission, and you will do it. See, you remember what God told Jonah? HE said "GO to Nineveh." Jonah said, "NO, LAWD, I'sE too scared! and i don't want to go nohow. Them peoples aint a bit o' good, and they wont follow. "
God said again, "GO."
Jonah once and again said, NO>
And to make his point clearer to God, Jonah up and run to catch a boat going elsewhere, but away from the direction of Nineveh.
God told him, "Go." Bro. Jonah didn't answer; he figured that if God saw him on this boat, HE'D understand that the position was open and HE'D have to find someone else.
so, our God sent Jonah a swell. Selah, hallelujah and thank you God on high!
And you know the rest.
Just like Paul on that trip to Damascus--- when you are called, you GONNA go!
Find a missionary congregation. You can actually be taught how to missionary. I have got to roll out now. but we can discourse later and again, if God wills it.
love bb
