I'm concerned that most churches and Christian leaders teach people the Bible but they may not necessarily be teaching them how to study the Bible. Christians may be able to spit out information about doctrine or various Bible passages, but they are not able to be shaped by Scripture.
Rather than just teach the Bible, we need to be teaching how to study the Bible and how to be people who are sensitive to the voice of God through many means, especially through Scripture.
It is this obsevation that led me to put together Knowing God's Word . I'm concerned that too many people do not know how to read and study the scripture on their own. The words of their pastors or Bible teachers are all that they have to go on. Don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't appreciate the Bible teachers in our midst. It's that we need to be equipping and teaching people to learn the Bible on their own.
