Use your brains to study the Bible in depth

• John 4:22 - Jesus said, ”we worship what we know”

• Read your Bible everyday- read great chunks of it

• Get some decent study aids- Everyday with Jesus is nice, but it

just does not cut it with the serious student

We have a relationship withThe One who has the answers

• Develop your relationship with God- Read your Bible everyday- Pray and talk to God all the time- Be “God Aware”- Worship & experience His Presence- Spend time with His people

• Out of that relationship learn to think
