ib i ible study t i ps:


1. Prepare your heart for God's message by beginning with a time of sincere prayer

                    "Each time you read your Bible, ask the Lord for understanding.
                     A wonderfully intimate love relationship awaits those who let the 
                     Spirit reveal to them the thoughts of God. The Spirit's goal is not
                     to  fill your mind with information, but to bring you to a deeper 
                     level in your relationship with the Lord. He wants you to understand
                     the truth so that you will fall in love with Jesus."

2.
Read slowly!

3. Read and re-read the verse, passage, chapter, or book multiple times

         - Use a variety of translations for better understanding.

         - WHO?  (Research other passage where the same characters are mentioned)
         - WHAT?
         - WHEN?
         - WHERE?
         - WHY?
         -  HOW?
                                      *** Don't get too hung up on this... as helpful as it is -
                                          especially in the beginning - it can be very time consuming ***
