(Printed on this day, June 21, 1902, in The Associate Reformed Presbyterian)
We are often too busy to go to our Bibles for our soul life, understanding, and success. We spend hours reading newspapers and other books when we cannot find 15 minutes for our Bibles. Have we a right to fill our day’s program so full of work, recreation, and pleasure that we can find no period for Bible study?
God grant that in our hearts may be created a deeper love and a stronger desire for His Word. Let us have a place on our day’s program for the study of God’s word.
- Let this period be definite.
- Study every day.
- Follow a special line of study.
- Underline in your Bibles verses which come as direct messages to your soul.
- Learn to locate such verses.
- Commit them to memory.
- Engrave them upon your heart.
- Let them guide your life.
- Do not fail to tell your friends of God’s messages to you.
