Speaking in Bible Study Magazine Mark Driscol focuses his thoughts on Bible Study.
I thought the following advice was great:
1. Use the right tools: a good translation for primary use, additional translations, concordance, Bible dictionary, commentary, etc.
2. Learn to make the connection to Jesus: All of Scripture leads us to Christ. Mark says the difference between Bible reading and study is making this connection.
3. Examine yourself: Bible study should impact mind, heart and attitude. It is not about accumulating knowledge.
4. Draw application to real life: Much of the bible is written from and addresses times of suffering as well as joy. Drawing relevant application from the truths and principles of Scripture requires some Q&A both internally for the individual and verbally for the community.
