Tips to study the Bible

1. Select - the specific times in the week that you will dedicate for study.
2. Highlight – select two commentaries, read each one, highlighting the key sentences. Do this for one biblical paragraph at a time. Go slow.
3. Title – in your own words each paragraph in the Bible book that you study.
4. Study Notes – write insights from the commentary for the key verses from each paragraph (sometimes write word for word, other times paraphrase).
5. Journal – write your personal meditations and observations.
6. Prayer – write a brief prayer from the passage when applicable.
