The Abundant Word of God!

The picture in this Monday's blog was done by a previous Young Adult Church School at a former church, and portrays what an abundant life is about in today's family. The picture portrays activities in reference to sports, vacations, good food, but most importantly quality time with our families. In our busy schedules it is so hard to find time for what is important, especially our family relationships and the bonding that can only occur through shared family experiences.

The same goes for our reading the bible and finding enough quality time to read it and to bond with it in relationship and experience. This weeks blog will give helpful hints as to get as much from your bible reading, so it will supply us with an "Abundant Life" in God's Word. Rick Warren tells us that God's Word must be studied in the following ways.

1. Observation: What is it saying?
2. Interpretation: What does it mean?
3. Correlation: What other verses explain it?
4. Application: What am I going to do about it?

Brothers and Sisters, as we strive to have a life of abundance in everything that we do, let us also try to have a life of abundance in understanding God's Word. God desires to be in relationship with each and every one of us, and as we spend that quality time with our families, let us spend some quality time with Father God in his Holy Word!

Living Abundantly
