Myth, 124

 ~ You Need Lots of Time to Study the Bible ~

 

Myth  ~  It is true that our lives are busy and it often seems impossible to add more to our schedules. 

 

Realities  ~  (1) We all have the same 24 hours each day which males it not a matter of time but rather an issue of priority.  (2) Even a small amount of time on a regular Bible provides significant gain in understanding Scripture.  (3) A small amount of time daily (even only 10-15 minutes) typically results in more gain than a large amount of time separated by big gaps before another large of amount of study.    

 

Scripture  ~  “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.  More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.  Moreover by them Your servant is warned, and in keeping them there is great reward” (Psalm 19:7-11).

 

 

“How can a young man cleanse his way?  By taking heed according to Your Word.  With my whole heart I have sought You; oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!  Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You” (Psalm 119:9-11).

Is Christ God? 1of12

 ~ David Called Jesus Christ God! ~

 

Scripture  ~  “While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, saying, ‘What do you think about the Christ?  Whose Son is He?’  They said to Him, ‘The Son of David.’  He said to them, ‘How then does David in the Spirit call Him “Lord,” saying: “The Lord said to my Lord, ‘Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool’?”  If David then calls Him “Lord,” how is He his Son?’  And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare question Him anymore” (Matthew 22:41-46).
