Habit #3: Engage the Bible

Engage the Bible

Out of all the habits you can develop, engaging the Bible is perhaps the most important. Donald Whitney, a leading teacher on spiritual disciples, writes, “No spiritual discipline is more important than the intake of God’s Word. Nothing can substitute for it. There simply is no healthy Christian life apart from a diet of the milk and meat of Scripture.”

We want to provide you with some resources to help.

Big Idea: Engage the Bible by reading or listening to Scripture daily. Engaging the Bible is essential to the Christian life.

Here are a few of my favorite Study Bibles:

Another option is a Reader’s Bible. A Reader’s Bible allow you to read the Bible without verse numbers, section headings, and translation footnotes, more like a regular book. For instance, check out the ESV Reader’s Bible.

If you like to write in your Bibles, then a journaling Bible is a great option. I also like the ESV Scripture Journals. They provide separate volumes for each book of the Bible, with lightly lined blank pages next to each page of Bible text.
