As a reader of this blog, you are most likely somewhat committed to personal Bible reading. That is a wonderful commitment, but are you aware of some of the most common mistakes we can make, so that you’re prepared to avoid them?
Wyatt Graham has a helpful post explaining some pitfalls he regularly sees:
- We read without hearing from God.
- We don’t read through a whole book of the Bible.
- We forget about the divine author.
He makes some terrific points along the way, such as:
Biblical books communicate ideas. Each of the four Gospels presents Christ from four different angles. Paul’s letters have a purpose. And so on. Like any book that we read today, if we do not understand its beginning, middle, and end, we miss the point.
