“I think we need to realize that Bible study is really not Bible reading… Bible study takes work; it takes thinking about the text… There really is no substitute for thinking about what you’re reading – thinking about it, spending real time and (I’m going to use the “C” word here) reading it critically.
Just because you ask a question about the text, doesn’t mean that God is offended; you don’t need to go repent for that, okay? God expects you to use the brain power that he has given you to think about what He has dispensed, what He providentially has preserved for you to read.
It’s the Berean thing going on.
It’s not just about reading; its about thinking – Lingering over it and really thinking it. And, if you have good tools to compare things, you can go a long way if you’re just willing to put in the “seat time” and expose yourself to different sources, different speakers, different preachers. And it’s a never ending process… To me, it’s an endless fascination…”
