Scripture Writing

Scripture Writing is a wonderful way to solidify God’s word into your heart. For some, reading isn’t enough.

There’s something about taking that God breathed scripture, writing it down and reinforcing it in your heart in a way that will help you memorize and digest it.

Topical Bible Study

In a Topical Bible Study, I take a topic that interests me and look up all of the scriptures that are mentioned in the Bible on that topic. A great example would be the topic of God’s Love to His children. Then I do word studies on various words that stand out to me which give some great insight into God’s heart for me.

Bible Study by Book

This is another favorite study method of mine. Studying an entire book consists of studying the historical setting, the cultural setting and then reading through the book multiple times, assigning a chapter title to each book. Then I divide the book into an outline form and then breaking it down into sub points. It really gives an overall birds eye view and is the most thorough type of study. Coupling a topical study with Word Study is very effective.

Word Study in the Hebrew and Greek

Word Studies are a beneficial way to really dig into God’s word. Do we pour other meanings into the words we read or are we allowing the Word of God to stand on it’s own? The Hebrew and Greek will open your eyes to what God is saying to you.

If you’re looking to do word studies, the Blue Letter bible is the online version of the Greek/Hebrew Strong’s Concordance. And it’s free!

Devotional Printables for Spiritual Growth

Devotional Printable are an easy way to to streamline your quiet time but still dig into the word daily.

I’ve got a Free SOAP Journal Printable and Lovely Day Devotional Printable that will help you with your quiet time: How God spoke to you in your Daily Bible Reading, expressing your heart in prayer and how you can minister to others.

Verse Mapping

Verse Mapping is a more in depth form of word study that personalizes the word of God to you. It is usually written out by hand but you can also see my digital verse mapping at left. I highlight in different colors who the verse is speaking to and also do the same for my Greek and Hebrew word studies.

Always Study with Context in Mind

A good rule of thumb is to ask yourself these questions:

Who was Jesus talking to/who does this verse apply to?
What was the main subject of the book and this specific verse?
Where was this book written and who was it written to?
When was it written?
Why was it written?
How does this verse affect my life and How can I apply it?
