Reading the Bible is one of the primary ways we grow in our faith. An analogy we recently heard in our Wednesday Night class went like this:
Hot dogs taste great; but they are full of many unnatural ingredients. We don’t normally crave mechanically separated meat or maltodextrin–even though they are typically found in hot dogs. What we should crave is pure meat–steak! Many sermons, books and podcast contain ingredients that really aren’t biblical, but they are appealing. We study the Bible because we want to know the truth of the Bible–steak.
Studying the Bible can be life-changing; but it can be difficult to know where to begin or keep going. There are many great reading plans out there to help. (Check out YouVersion for many choices.) For a fun, animated way to study Scripture, check out our friends at The Bible Project.
