Recommendations and Guidelines for an effective Bible Study

Though not exhaustive, I thought it might help to better define the purpose of the Bible Study Forum, and by doing so, better assist one another with a clearer method to understanding God’s word.

Guidelines

1. Scripture is the basis of study. Stay close to the text.
2. Keep your post to a manageable length where others can respond to a section of scripture as opposed to an entire article.
3. We encourage your understanding of a text. If you wish to post snipits from a website, please make sure it accompanies your comments of the text. Excessive copy / paste from web sites are frowned upon.
4. If you disagree with an interpretation of scripture, think out your response according to the specific text and post accordingly.
5. No debating doctrines or denominational differences. (E.G. TULIP, OSAS, Purgatory, Papacy etc)

The following considerations are suggested to assist in our study of Holy Scripture. This method utilizes an instructional and comprehensive approach

1. Exegesis; Critical explanation or analysis, especially of a text. (I.E. What does the text mean?)
2. Hermeneutics; The theory and methodology of interpretation, especially of scriptural text. (I.E. How did you come to the conclusion of your Exegesis? Does it agree with the Bible as a whole?)
3. Redaction; to draw up or frame ( I.E. a statement, proclamation, etc.)

Walking in the spirit would definitely have an impact..

Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

By a Holy lifestyle. By spending a lot of time studying the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. As I become more like the Master in the Gospels, society will know that I've been with Jesus. When the Holy Spirit is drawing a sinner to Jesus, my holy lifestyle is a seed message to their heart.

Psalm 92:10 - "But my horn You have exalted like a wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil!"

Ask God to pour out a mighty anointing upon you -- to release the rich, abundant anointing of the Holy Spirit . To saturate you with such rich anointing that you can't help but be joyful, can't help but speak of His lovingkindness. We need the prepetual unliminted flow of His precious oil in and through our lives.

When we live conscious of Heaven and eternity, it changes the way we live and radically increases our measure of impact on society.


"Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God." - Colossians 3:2,3

This is the answer right here. When we are conscious of our Lord and have our heart set upon Him, we receive Him and walk with Him. Being as is said...in the Spirit.

Moment by moment, every day.

Thank you Pastor Finch for this instruction. At this particular time, your thread has already had a vital impact on my thinking and need. I have an idea that the Holy Spirit had me in mind when He spoke to your heart, just what to write....Fresh oil anointing, O yes, fill me up Holy Spirit, fill me up.

I am very grateful to God for allowing me to teach little children ages between 7-13 in a relatively poor Black neighborhood.My primary function is to teach them to read and play music as a recorder ensemble. Fortunately I am free to teach them Biblical principles as part of the attitude to adopt in learning music .At the moment I am following a kids ministry lesson plan by ministryforkids.com .I cant wait to set the program into action starting with the fruits of the Spirit.Gal 5:22-23.I am very optimistic because they seemed to enjoy the short Bible passages which I usually read with prayers before lectures commenced.I trust that the Holy Spirit will do what He does when we allow him to in this instance in shaping young lives towards God. I see this an impact which are the seeds to a joyful life in Christ as they grow older and play an active positive role in society no matter where they might find themselves.
