Several weeks ago I was cleaning out some files and found this article of "Pastor's Paragraphs" written by Dr. Adrian Rogers as he was Pastor of Bellevue Baptist Church, Memphis, TN. This is the article he wrote:
When we were talking about ways to better understand the Bible Sunday morning, I mentioned to you some things I had written in the flyleaf of my Bible when I was a young preacher. Many of you desired a copy of these. Here they are:
Six questions to ask:
* Is there a promise to claim?
*Is there a lesson to learn?
* Is there a blessing to enjoy?
* Is there a command to obey?
* Is there a sin to avoid?
* Is there a new thought to carry with me?
Six commands to obey:
* Read it through
*Think it clear
* Write it down
* Pray it in
* Live it out
* Pass it on.
If you will ask these questions and obey these commands, I believe that the Bible will burst aflame in your heart and will be lived out in your lives.
