Study your Bible Spiritually. The best way to understand a book is by getting to know the author. If you enroll in any literature class, you will spend some time learning about the authors before you read their work. You will learn of their life and influences. You will learn of the core values that [...]
Unselfishly The best way to keep what you got is to give it away! Why do some people seem to have a greater knowledge of God’s Word than others? Why do they seem to have the Bible at their finger tips? Because they have a eagerness to share what God has given them! The more [...]

Theologically Theology is nothing more than the study of God. This sounds too simple to say but I’ll say it anyway. Look for God when you read your Bible.

Questioningly This is not to be confused with doubtingly or skeptically. In fact, Believingly, is a future topic. However, today I want to encourage you to ask questions as you read.
