Trusting God in Times of Adversity

Have you given up trying to read and understand the Word of God; are you unsure when and where to begin; do big theological words scare you off...Precept Ministries International at Precept.org is the "Cadillac" of Bible studies. It's not the common fill-in-the-blank workbook that may leave you asking, "So what!?"... Inductive Bible Study shows you how to discover God's Truth for yourself. The concept behind the inductive study method is to get students personally, intimately involved with the subject, observing carefully for themselves. For example, if we were studying frogs using the method, we would begin by taking students to the pond to touch and observe real frogs before taking them to the library to study books about frogs. At Precept, we use a straightforward investigative approach to open the Bible and build the context for each statement it contains. That's where we find God's precepts--or principles--for life. Inductive study is the tool our students use to collect those precepts to build a God-glorifying, Bible-centered worldview with clear applications to live the abundant, victorious life in Christ. There are 3 steps to inductive Bible study: Observation = what does the text say. Interpretation = what does the text mean. Application = how am I to live in light of what the Bible has taught me. Without application Bible study can become "knowledge that puffs up" or doctrinally shallow anecdotes. Our goal is changing lives by connecting people with Christ.
