Prompt:
Do you study the Bible? Do you know how to study the Bible? If you do, what is your favorite Bible study method? Why? What makes studying the Bible easier for you? What makes it harder? How many ways do you know of to study the Bible? What are they? How often do you do it? Do you think it is important to do it regularly?

Write about studying the Bible today. Above I have asked some questions about Bible study. I would love to hear your answers. Or tell me your own thoughts on the subject.

Answer:
Yes, I do. I read a minimum of 1 chapter per day. I read the study Bible notes on it and look up anything I don't understand or want to know more about. I like to use the SOAP method for scripture writing/journaling and study. Sometimes I like to use Biblegateway.com. You can listen to the Bible be read in different ways. I really like the dramatic reading option. This website has all kinds of study helps and you can read different versions of the Bible here. It is harder to study the Bible when you have fewer tools at your disposal. I think the more tools you have available, the easier and more in depth you can study. I know of a lot of different ways to study the Bible. You can even Google Bible Study methods to get more ideas.

My mom thought me how to study the Bible before we had all this technology available. We had a Bible Concordance, a dictionary, and a couple of commentaries. These are the tools she thought me to use. She is actually the one who thought me to write out a devotion.

My mother dappled in writing a little but never pursued it. I have poems she had written while she was alive and some stories and devotions. I have dreamed of being a writer since I was a child but never fully pursued it until now. I enjoy writing. I enjoy watching people react to my talent. I enjoy expressing myself in this way.

Prompt: Which kinds of situations make you feel you’re in control versus which kinds make you lose control?

Situations that make me angry, especially when I see people doing injustices and getting away with them, make me feel out of control.

Sounds like someone needs to get out of the house more often. The Bible says the way to have friends is to show yourself friendly. Go on a walk and say Hi to the neighbors. Talk to the cashiers at the grocery stores. Go to church. You will eventually make some friends, but you have to put forth the effort. You might be surprised how people will respond to you when you just show them a little genuine interest, love, and human compassion.

Use this quote to inspire your blog entry.

I think what he means by this is that it is hard to have peace without justice.
