2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God,
a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing
the word of truth.
Independently studying the written Word of God is essential to our spiritual nurturing and growth. The quiet searching of the Holy, Living Text, wrapped in continual prayer, on a daily basis with an objective, open, yearning mind to the things of the One True God is what gives us confidence that we are truly and eternally IN HIS all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present, perfect HANDS.
Using excellent directional guides, written by born-again IN CHRIST experts who can communicate clearly HOW TO RIGHTLY DIVIDE THE WORD OF GOD, is a wise and valuable thing to do. I’ve used various Independent Study directives, some more “Every man” friendly than others. Kay Arthur’s “Precepts Ministry” is one excellent guide but it’s time-consuming and requires lengthy focus. Irving L Jensen is a new author to me and a guide I’ve not used... until today. e-sword is a fantastic tool for learning (see “study helps”) and one I’ve come to love.
Come with me now, won’t you, as we take in, chew on, digest and grow by a deeper study of the LIVING WORD OF GOD.
