Thomas Less, January 15, 2011
17“Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets.

Thomas Less, January 14, 2011
13“You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.

Beginner’s Online Bible Study 16: Different ways to read or study the Bible

Thomas Less, December 21, 2010December 28, 2016

Different ways to read the Bible.

Casually read, and pray something sticks.  I don’t mean to sound derisive when I describe this style.  If you sincerely pray that the Holy Spirit will guide you and open your heart and mind, He will!

Read and highlight and take notes.  This is a bit more complicated, but the dividends can be enormous.  It is important that you get highlighters that won’t bleed …
