Teaching Points
- 1
The Bible is not a textbook — it is a love letter. It was written to be obeyed, not just studied.
- 2
Inductive Bible study: Observation (what does it say?), Interpretation (what does it mean?), Application (what do I do?).
- 3
The Bible is living and active — it reads you as you read it. Approach it with humility and expectation.
- 4
Scripture memory is not busywork — it is storing ammunition for spiritual battle.
- 5
Meditation is not emptying the mind — it is filling the mind with God's Word and letting it saturate your thinking.
