Precepts

When I lived in Beaumont, Texas, I became involved in and in love with Precept Bible Studies by Kay Arthur. I did the books of Romans, Daniel, Titus & part of John while I was there. These studies are straight scripture. Kay inspires you and leads you to dig deep into scripture, finding and marking key words, and learning to read God's Word in order to feed yourself. Don't expect stories or light devotions. (Not that there isn't a time & place for those.) Her questions and comments are designed to help you learn how God intended for His Words to be read. I came across this example titled "Life in the Spirit" and you can print off, or save in your favorites for a 15 day study or divide up each lesson for a month long study--however much you can swallow in a day. Or if you'd like to see the book studies, HERE is an excerpt from the study of Ephesians.

I love how she teaches that scripture backs up scripture. I love that the only bible study book we really need is God's Word, and online there are many resources for studying it. May you be blessed by reading and feasting on His wonderful, life-filled WORDS.
