I will be in Charlotte at my second Doctoral Residency on February 2nd -15th. My first residency was two weeks in January-
February 2013, and my third and final residency will be two
weeks of February 2015. I can't believe my "middle" residency
is here! Time has flown by. To prepare for this residency, I
have completed some projects, read many, many, many books,
written papers, studied scripture, and so much more. Kristin
and I would greatly appreciate your prayers during these two
weeks (well every day for that matter, but please take time
these dates to lift us up to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ). I will definitely be challenged and stretched through this residency and the rest of this journey
to come! This residency is called, Pastor as a Preacher, so these two weeks are about preaching and the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the world. I know it will continue to
be a lot of hard work, but I’m very excited!!
A large part of this residency is studying the Word of God. I am thoroughly enjoying being challenged by my class to truly study the Word of God. Digging deeper and studying scripture is a joy of mine.
What is your first reaction when you think about studying/actually study the Word of God?
Do you study the Word of God on a regular basis? Is it a joy to you?
What I mean by that is do you take time and do more than read but actually study it? Get into it, study the people, the places, the geography? Dig Deep?
If not, or if so, might I suggest a book: “Rick Warren's Bible Study Methods: Twelve Ways You Can Unlock God's Word.” Rick Warren talks about 12 ways to dig into and study the Word of God. It has many practical steps to get into studying scripture.
