Bible Study

At the moment I’m taking the Christian Life and Witness Course. It’s a four week course and in the first class we talked about “the effective Christian Life.” I found it really helpful as it made me think about how the way I orientate my life affects the way I see God and the way people see God in me.

One particular phrase I will take away with me was about the Bible. The speaker told us a quote I believe from D.L. Moody who said “The Bible was not written to increase our knowledge, but to change our lives.” How many times have I read the Bible or gone to a Bible study hoping to increase my knowledge when really I should be praying for it to change my life?
