I had thought of calling this post “Making time to read your Bible”. The more I thought about this the more I realized that most of us do not need to make time to read the Word, but rather we need to take the time to read. How much time does it take? I would like to challenge all of our students to begin reading their Bible. If this is something you have never done, then start off reading smaller sections of scripture and take time to prayerfully consider what it is saying. If you are an old pro at this point and have been reading your Bible fairly consistently then it’s time to go deeper into the Word. So what keeps us from reading our Bible? What are the barriers that keep us from going deeper? As I have thought about these 2 questions I suspect the answer lies somewhere in that we don’t understand the value of the Bible and we don’t know where or how to begin.
