Yes, I am involved
in God's Word (the Bible)

You are on the right path

Let me ask ...
What do you mean by "involved in God's Word"?
I am not talking about ...
* Reading your assignment every day
* Studying to teach your class
* Working in the Bible for a sermon
* Memorizing passages
* Constantly running down references

I am talking about ...
* Searching for God's heart
* Digging for applicable truth
* Rightly dividing a passage
   as if the book the passage is in is the only part of the Bible available

Read for ...
* Recreational value
* Historical value
* Poetical value
* etc.

But also read for ...
* Communion with the Lord
* Love of Him
* Help for others
