Last night's Word on Life Bible Study group was a great example of a balance between group interaction, involvement, and depth in the Scriptures. It seemed like everyone took something home with them from the Word of God. Each person participated in the "Create Your Own Religion" activity, which demonstrated the dangerous and crazy things we can get from the Bible when we only read part of a Scripture. This activity launched our new series, "Reading Your Bible for All Its Worth." We discussed the importance of taking Scriptures in context and of comparing them with other verses in the Bible.
Our Scripture passages demonstrated the right and wrong way to do this. "Matthew 28:19 versus Acts 2:38" took a look at the way many people have taken sides and chosen between these verses. The real power of these Scriptures comes from understanding how they merge and agree. In other words, there's no versus between the verses. "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." (II Timothy 3:16)
Read your Bible for all its worth and watch it work wonders in your life!
