Should a Bible college graduate have more Bible knowledge than a layman of thirty or forty years of church attendance? Could not there be some way of acquainting this layman with the same fullness of Scripture? Maybe the problem can be fixed to some degree in the church Sunday school, but ultimately, Bible study must take place at home. Families, individuals, couples and siblings need to read the Bible! Bible reading—Bible study—must be mandatory in the home, not as a rule of the church, but as a standard and conviction of the parents and the children of those parents. Nothing but the Bible creates spiritual growth. Growing in grace and growing in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ are inseparable. Read the Bible slowly; read it quickly; read it thoroughly; read it thematically; read it chapter by chapter or book by book; read it today and read it tomorrow; read it on breaks; read it in the morning, at noon and at night; whatever you do, read it! Read it when you understand it; read it when you do not; read it when others will not; read it when you do not want to; read it when you are awake; read it when you are tired. Read it again and again until Christ comes back! Study it; look up difficult words in the dictionary; compare the geography with a map; discuss it; share it; observe it; write it; memorize it; meditate on it; repeat! The Bible can never do on the shelf what it can do in the heart. List those activities which occupy your time. List those activities which could be removed, shortened or hasted. Determine just how much time you could actually give to God’s Book. He is waiting for you. ~ Missionary John Kokenzie
