Zion Good News Weekly

Lent is a good time to read the Bible. Here are some notes to help anyone get started in Bible reading from The Lutheran Study Bible p. 1553

Pray: Begin by praying for God's Spirit to lead you. As Luther once said, "This book, the Holy Scripture, is the Holy Spirit's book."
Search: As you read, note key words and phrases. Ask: What can I learn from these faithful storytellers, prophets, and apostles?
Confess: What do these words lead me to believe and confess - about God and myself?
Thank: In times when you receive new strength, hope, and insight - and in time when understanding is clouded and insights are few - give thanks to God for the opportunity to encounter Scripture.
Live: Luther said, "No one understands Scripture unless it is brought home to him or her, that is unless one experiences it." Bring your experience with Scripture into your life experiences - at work, at play, at school, with family, friends, and neighbors.

Start anew, start again, or continue to use your Bible as your source of truth and life.

Keep in Your Prayers:
