HOW TO READ THE BIBLE — a short course from Dardanelle Missionary Baptist Church • Pastor Chuck Trusty • a new lesson every two weeks
This is a short course for anyone who wants to read the Bible for himself. Every lesson is a five-minute read. Each one teaches one simple tool — a rule for reading — and proves it with one word right out of the verse. Work them in order, and by the end you will have a whole toolbox for opening the Book on your own.
There is homework each time — one verse to work yourself. Do it. That is where it sticks.
The Lessons — and the tool each one gives you
- Lesson 1 — Start With the Questions (John 3:1-2)
The tool: ask every verse WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY — and mind the fence called CONTEXT. - Lesson 2 — Read the Whole Verse (Luke 23:43)
The tool: a verse is a sentence — read it all the way to its last word. - Lesson 3 — Every Command Has an Address (Matthew 28:18-20)
The tool: every command was spoken to somebody — ask who.
More lessons are coming — a new one every two weeks. Check back here; this page grows as the course does.
"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." — 2 Timothy 2:15
