Subject: Trying to Choose a Study Bible |
Bible Note: Hank: What a fine way to describe each of these Bibles. I doubt I have read any better review of the different Study Bibles. I do not have the MacArthur, but do have several of the other study Bibles. My wife also askes me "do you think you have enough Bibles?" I have found my favorite Bibles are just the Scripture with no study helps. I use the NIV, NASB and the ESV but mainly the NIV. Often I have all three out when reading. For me Bible study and reading the Bible are different. When I study all the helps I can dig up are there, and the different Study Bibles. When I just read the Scriptures, that's when I just feed on the Word and allow the Word to speak to me. What I believe is that each Christian needs to be aware that each of us are responsible for our own spiritual growth. The Worship service is just that...Worship. We need instruction, encouragement, and conviction from those who preach, and to hear the Good News again and again. I am not sure new believers are told they are in charge of their own spiritual growth, or the lack there of. I am sure your knowledge of the Scriptures did not come in a few hours of study a week, but rather over many years of your born again life. Just a few thoughts to chew on. justme (out of the pit) |
