Topical Preaching vs Verse by Verse Preaching || Read the Bible every day - Paul Washer

[chrismarimon]

Thank you for this, a young Christian who is into body building, this has reminded me of the importance of spiritual mass over physical mass, for what good is it if I gain the approval of man and woman for my body but lose my soul in the process by not seeking His Word daily, thank you 🙏🏼

Paul that sounds phenomenal! Answer scriptural questions with scripture!

✝ 2 Timothy 2:15

"Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."

[jeffreyelya]

What Paul is describing here is the idea that you have to read, and re-read scripture. What's hard for me to see is that I will come across professing believers who clearly tell me they haven't read the Bible all the way through. I'm not trying to single him out, but my roommate hasn't read it all the way through. I never bothered to write down questions when I went through it the first two to three times, but what I'm finding out now is that whenever the lead pastor at the church gets the audience to join in on a verse, w/o help on the screen, the verse comes out automatically.
Currently, I've actually lost count as to how many times I've read it all the way through. Last I checked it was to 13 or 14, but the point is, write it on your heart. The more I think about it, the more it changes me. The more I think about it, I am finding that I care less about the things of this world, and more about Christ.

Knowledge puffs up love builds up understanding brings life and it is the spirit who gives us an understanding thank you father thank you for your son just like Isaiah said unless the Lord has left us descendants we would’ve become like Sodom we would’ve been like Gomorrah thank you father for your son the Christ peace be with you🍷🍞

I am on my 2nd pass of this reading plan. I plan to do it every year! It has been a blessing!

[abbylavacque]

I wrote down questions as I read but often looked for answers elsewhere after reading but I absolutely love that there will be an answer somewhere else in the text!!! Thank you for

[geniesmith]

Ive being following the M'Cheyne Bible reading plan for 3 years now and will continue to use it.

[ronnycarney]

When you read the Bible you’re reading letters you read from the beginning to the end of that one letter and the spirit brings the message that he wants you to have and then go back and get confirmation time looking stuff up because the spirit is the teacher peace be with you🍷🍞

Study ( not just read ) to show thyself approved of God, a workman who need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of Truth. 2 Timothy 2:15. Yes read scripture for it will never return void. However we are commanded to Study scripture only to seek approval from God alone. Then we are to work at this study always " rightly dividing" - Greek word " Orthotoméo " - to disect perfectly to line oneself up perfectly in that truth! Surgeon said: " Study scripture like a miner digging for gold"

Awesome. I love that notebook of questions idea

[BibleAndFriends]

Great advice from Paul on reading the Bible!

[redfaux]

The biggest problem with Christians today is they follow what man SAYS about the Bible more than what the Bible SAYS about the Bible. Isa. 2:11

[Thessalonians.]

Thank you. Very important, solid advice.

I agreed that topical bible study is the best way to have a holistic and objective understanding, including contradictions, missunderstanding and mistakes committed by bible writers. Indeed God did not prevent bible writers make mistakes, indeed He provides more than one writers, so the readers could vaildate and verify. It dfollows the same principle of RAID storage technology to preserve data integrity.

However topical study method is only cover a skin deep of the quest in finding God's truth, the truth that will set you free from deceptions, and religious non sense,
1. Lay down your inherited brainwashed dogmas, this is the most difficult part. first the presumption that all books selected and canonised by men contain nothing else but truth, secondly presumptions that the writers could not be wrong (infaliiable), cause they were inspired by Holy Spirit.

2. How obsessed are you to know God's truth ? true worshipper is worshipping God in Spirit and Truth. Most Christians have a very subjective truth, Let yes be yes and No be No other than that comes from the devil. Are you able to say this is false or this is true, for the verse found in your bible ?

3. Test yourself, Truth or False "The root of ALL evils is the love of money ?". if you say true because you want to stick to the doctrines (of men), well this will impacting you in your bible study, because you unable to discern false truth inside. Your bible study conclusions is just a fabricated man's made fantasy.,

4. You don't need to learn Old Testaments, AS if tomorrow will be a judgment day, the urgency is to understand Jesus own teaching, Learn like the first disciples, at the end through Holy Spirit they could understand the scripture (old testaments) as well.

5. Follow Jesus advise, let Holy Spirit guide you to understand His words, delivered in flesh., That's the only way to understand Jesus teaching, the gospel of Kingdom of God. If you simply rely on your brain power and somebody else devotions, it will quickly turned into false teaching.

6. Verify all your conclusion and understanding to Jesus own words, Jesus teaching is the cornerstone of Christian believe, Every teachings should be verify to His words. Jesus words could only be verified to His own words, thats the nature of cornerstone.

if you followed and passed all of these then you will experience spiritual growth, the living water will become a well and produce more living water from inside, It's easy to teach and preach the gospel of Kingdom of God, and answering all questions about Jesus teaching.

Most people stucked in step 3. Good luck.

Topical preaching vs expository verse by verse teaching. Two different things.

[pastorclhill]

[lambo]
