Diligent Study of the Scriptures

John
Jesus warns against exclusive study of the Scriptures.  Even though it is important to regularly read God's word, it is just as important to apply what you read.  The word of God is living and active; it has the ability, through the Holy Spirit, to speak to you today and to change your life.  We can't make this bible reading turn into head knowledge only.  Life application is just as important.  I admit, sometimes it seems a little tough to find out how to apply certain passages of Scripture, like some of Jeremiah.  I'm still figuring that out.  If you're struggling in that regard as well, one book that would be helpful is, you guessed it!, Taking the Guesswork out of Applying the Bible by Jack Kuhatschek.
