How to Fit Principle Approach into Your Schedule

Many people tell me that they are so overwhelmed with just the normal activities of teaching that they don't see how they can incorporate this into what they are doing as well.

The fact is--you can't. Unless...

If you incorporate researching for biblical principles and leading ideas into your personal Bible study time, it works very well. Additionally, you as a student of the God's Word will grow and blossom in ways you never imagined.

Think about these questions:
  • Are you typically guided through a mechanical Bible study by simply answering "fill in the blank" type questions someone else asked you in a book, or does the Holy Spirit guide your study times?
  • Do you take the time to study God's Word?

Depending on your answers to the questions above, consider what it would be like to go on a quest with the Holy Spirit in locating Biblical principle. Would that be an aid to your personal study, or is it simply additional work for your lesson planning?

It may take you a little more time. This is a more intesive Bible study than most Bible students have encountered, but I can be a personal witness to the fact that this has drawn our family closer to God in ways I could never have imagined.
