How do I use My Bible

"Am I learning how to use my Bible?"

"The way to become complete for the Master's service is to be well soaked in the Bible; some of us only exploit certain passages. Our Lord wants to give us continuous instruction out of His Word; continuous instruction turns hearers into disciples. Beware of spooned meat spirituality, of using the Bible for the sake of getting messages; use it to nourish your own soul. Be a continuous learner, don't stop short, and the truth will open to you on the right hand and on the left until you find there is no problem in human life with which the Bible does not deal. But remember that there are certain points of truth our Lord cannot reveal to us until our characters are in a fit state to bear it. The discernment of God's truth and development of character go together."
