Palisades Junior High- Bible Reading is BACK!!!

Hey Junior Highers!

In building wise habits as young, growing Christians, what better way to grow our faith, than reading what God has revealed to us in His Word and talking to Him in prayer! I hope that as we start again this important discipline, that we meet the Lord in an intimate way and feel his love every day. LET US THINK ABOUT GOD EVERYDAY!

As you read the passages.

-Pray. Take this time to pray for this time of hearing God speak through the living Word of God.
-Read. Underline, highlight or take note of any words, phrases, verses that stand out or confuse you. You will eventually develop your own way.
-Ask yourself these three questions as you read through the text. You may have to read the text a few times.


* What does the passage say? Read it at least once and, if necessary, compare different translations
* What does it mean? What did it mean to the person who first wrote it and those who first read [and heard] it? Extra reading (like commentaries or articles on this text) may help here. Write down questions, items to note, etc.
* How does it apply to me, my family, my [school] or work, my neighbors, the society around me? …It is when we see the relevance to our own lives that Bible reading becomes so exciting and we become conscious that we are hearing God’s voice? Think also about the words, phrases that really stood out to you. Why do you think they stood out? Is God saying something to you?
