SCRIPTURE PRACTICES  

To help you learn some of the ways of engaging Scripture, we’re going to suggest you explore a few practical approaches:

  • Reading

  • LIFE Journaling

  • Memorization

  • Meditation

As you enter into this adventure in Scripture, keep the following in mind:

  • Environment: Choose a quiet, comfortable space where you can pay attention. Choose a time when you are alert, and set aside your electronic devices or other distractions.
  • Be Present: Take 2 minutes to breathe and be silent. Acknowledge God’s presence with you. Be aware of your thoughts and concerns, and give them over to God’s care.
  • Translation: Choose a Bible translation that you can easily understand and engage with. NIV, ESV, NLT, or NRSV are all good options.
