Great job! Over the last 40 yrs of studying the bible, the number one thing I've learned is to ask God the Holy Spirit to be your teacher. He knows how to teach and how to explain it to you so you'll understand. Always open with prayer - always!!

Faith, I wanted to leave a comment from my heart here. I grew up in the Southern Baptist Convention. My dad was an ordained deacon and was later ordained as a pastor. I used to love the Bible. I was always a "nerd" and a "bookworm", so Bible study was something I naturally gravitated toward. But as I got older, had a family, got more involved in church and, sadly, abused in church I grew cold and distant from my Christian faith. Instead of enjoying reading my Bible, I began dreading it. Then I stopped reading it. Then I only picked it up to find evidence that poked bigger holes in my faith. I backslid into New Age occult, then atheism then total antitheism. I was not only an unbeliever, I was so angry and bitter that I was hostile toward Christianity and Christians. But recently the Holy Spirit nudged me back. I don't think it was by accident the KZread algorithm threw one of your videos into my suggested videos feed. Your enthusiasm for the Word has stoked that little ember in my heart that was once a massive fire. I find myself waking up every day excited to study the Bible. I'm so thankful to the Lord for your channel❤

I know this comment was directed at Faith but I’m so happy for you… I was born again last year after a very lukewarm /cultural Christian upbringing and I feel like a kid in a candy store much of the time whilst I learn (also a nerd here 🤓). I’m so happy for you that you are becoming reacquainted with the Lord! 🎉

Honestly Faith your page is so refreshing and inspiring! I was like "I GET ITTTT" since I also went to Bible school and got my degree in theology and I'm like "I know nothing... the more I study the Bible the more there is to study 😂". I love how you share your bible school knowledge with SUCH passion and realness! So excited for my own future scrolling on your channel😂 much love in Christ❤

In studying the Old Testament it helps to use commentaries from the Jewish perspective as the Rabbis are very familiar with the text and the cultural background for it.

I feel like unfortunately lots of Christians do not value the Old Testament. It is far from boring and has so much wisdom 😢 it is the story of God’s chosen people which also led to Jesus. So much to uncover there!

I can assure you that pray before starting your moment with Jesus is essential. This week I was going to start my devocional without prayer and I felt the Holy Spirit saying "Prayer first, then you start" so I can tell you that He sees it like a important part of our quiet time with Him

Your videos are such a help, sometimes when I am really struggling, I just put on your playlist. Without fail, I find something that I missed before and get the inspiration I need to dig into my Bible.

Great stuff love your video

I can honestly say that I always walk away from your channel with a new insight into scripture. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and your journey with the Lord!

You have good advice and good tips. But each of your different videos are all over the place. But I am still confused when wanting to study. Am I just to write down all of your tips and then pick out the ones I want to use at the time? There is no format or each video is a different format

🙌

Each of your videos has different tips. Am I to write down the sum total of all videos and apply it to each study? Then what do I do with the total?

Hello! I am new to your channel so I apologize if you have addressed this question already. But, how do you handle when you get to a difficult part, as in a part you don't necessarily agree with or your mind is like "ehhh I don't know about that".

Proverbs 3:14

Hi Faith...I have a question. In your opinion...is it better to read just like a paragraph in the Bible and get everything you can from that before moving on...OR..is it better to go ahead and read a whole chapter of a book in the Bible and glean all you can from the chapter before moving on? Does that make sense?

@HowtoFaithALife

3 жыл бұрын

That's a great question! I'd say chapter, because you always want to read things in context! Especially in the New Testament gospels, there will be a bunch of little paragraphs of random miracles that make up the chapter, and you COULD study each miracle, but that would only take you so far, but if you study the chapter as a whole, you'll often see a theme and general message/motive of the chapter as a whole so then you see application and theological take-aways and stuff like that! And of course, commentaries will point that out for the reader, too!

Should I go through the whole chapter and then look at a commentary or read the commentary and take notes WHILE I’m still reading? Haha if that makes sense.

@HowtoFaithALife

3 жыл бұрын

THE AGE OLD QUESTION! Lol, I ask myself this every time I sit down for my devotions. It depends on the passage, though. At least it's like that for me. Like, if I start reading a passage and it makes no sense, and I have no idea what I am reading, then I'll just go ahead and read the commentary, or some of what it says until I have a better understanding. Then, I'll make sure to go back and read the text and see all that the commentary added for me and often times I'll write all that the commentary said that helped me understand it, in the margins of my Bible! But, most the time it looks like reading a little bit, like a paragraph and then reading the commentary on it and then back and forth and back and forth. It gets even more confusing and messy when you have multiple commentaries! But I love it.

@HowtoFaithALife

2 жыл бұрын

YES! Makes sense. I typically open it up next to the text I'm trying to study and whenever I have a question I just look over to my commentary and read what it says about the passage. Typically, if it's a good one, it will have the answers to my questions. Hope that makes sense.

So sorry l mess the wrong button.

How sweet. Oh? Tell me if you can what is the gospel? Bet you don't know! 🙂

This is probably going to sound silly and unnecessary but as someone with ADHD things that have even subtle color or aesthetic seem to help me A LOT. There doesn't happen to be a commentary like that does there? I want to get a commentary but I feel like they all look so boring. Again. I know it sounds silly...unless you also have ADHD 😅

Over a dozen Books have been removed from the Bible, like the Book of Enoch. When you understand why those books were removed and by who, you will begin to understand who controls Christianity. A lie by omission is still a lie. "Kings, Merchants, Traders and Popes" are who made the Bible. When King James was translating his version of the Bible his translators kept getting assassinated by the Catholic Church. They would only stop if they were allowed to oversee the King James translations. I suggest looking up the Books of the Bible that were removed by agenda driven men and studying those.
