How to Study the Bible

Sooner or later, each Bible-believing Christian must learn how to study his or her own Bible.  Definitely, each Pastor must have learned (and still learning) the various methods of studying the Bible.  After all, the Bible is our sole authority for doctrine and in our lives (at least that's how it's supposed to be).

My Bible school Hermeneutics teacher used for our class the textbook "How to Study the Bible", which in Part 1 we learned:

1. Begin with Prayer.

2. Identify the Context.

3. Observe the Obvious.

4. Deal with the text Objectively.

5. Read with a Purpose.

Of course, there's a lot more to it than those 5 things.  But if that's all you will learn then that's a very good start.

The Trail of Blood by J. M. Carroll

"Following the Christians Down Through the Centuries . . .  or The History of Baptist Churches From the Time of Christ, Their Founder, to the Present Day" -- That's the brief description of The Trail of Blood on its Title Page. The Trail of Blood Historical Chart (TO DOWNLOAD THE PDF OR JPG COPY, SEE BELOW.) The title page also states the book's purpose: "THIS LITTLE BOOK is sent forth for the purpose of making known the little-known history of those FAITHFUL WITNESSES of the Lord Jesus, who, as members of the CHURCH JESUS BUILT, 'Overcame Satan by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony: and they loved not their lives unto death,' Rev. 12:11." I've read this booklet and it's a good eye opener for Baptists.  Of course, like any other book, you have to have your Bible open while reading this, your eyes open for things that might be out of place, and if you get bothered by anything written in it my advice would b...

Ano ang Mangyayari 'Pag Namatay Ka?

Image
Bawat isa sa atin ay may araw ng kamatayan. Pero ano ang nangyayari 'pag namatay ang isang tao? Ang pagkamatay ba basta tapos na lang ang buhay mo?   Yung katawan mo magiging alabok, tapos yun na yun?   Tapos ang kwento? O may mangyayari pa pagkatapos mong mamatay? Ano kaya kung nagtutuloy pa ang buhay? Ito ang mga naisip ng tao na pwedeng nangyayari pagkatapos ng kamatayan: (1) Ipapanganak ka ulit sa ibang pagkatao, o kaya mabubuhay ka bilang hayop o bagay.   Tapos mamamatay ka ulit.   Tapos ipapanganak ka ulit.   Tapos mamamatay ka ulit... Paulit-ulit lang hanggang magkaroon ka ng kaliwanagan at magiging parte ka na ng daigdig. (2) Magiging multo ka, o maglalakbay sa kadiliman. (3) O baka naman titingnan kung gaano kabait ka nung buhay ka pa.   At kung mas matimbang yung mga nagawa mong maganda kaysa sa mga masama mong nagawa, panalo ka! Ito nga lang ang problema:   Kung buhay ka pa, hindi mo masisiguro kung a...
