Helping you Live Biblically All
Day Long
It isn’t until the Bible is brought into your life
that it brings transformation and a close and intimate relationship with
Jesus.
By Mel D Westbrook MBTh
Introduction
What Helps
With Focus?
The purpose of the Christian’s Inquiry booklet is
to help you see what it is Jesus is trying to accomplish in you. There are two situations where you typically
apply yourself with a little more effort--if you know you are going to be
tested or if you are in a life-situation that the information is helping you
solve. You are in a life-situation that
Jesus is using these Biblical principles to solve. But, you may not realize what kind of a
solution Jesus is using. He approaches
solutions in a very different way. These
questions help you read and pray with much greater focus being applied to
them. Also, these questions are great
for group discussion and time spent with a mentor. Just circle the questions you feel would be good
for discussion.
How Do
These Principles Help?
Once a week, you need to meet with your mentor
or a group of friends and discuss that week’s Biblical principles. The objective isn’t to see if you learned
anything. It is to see if you are being
helped with your life’s issues. Did you
see Biblical truths that are able to help you be set free from your life’s
challenges? Did you learn important
Biblical principles? Did you see them as
principles that could be applied to your relationships? Did you see how the principles could be used
in your daily activities? Did you try to
use them on those things you faced that week?
Did the principles make a difference?
Ask Jesus to help you keep these questions and purposes in front of you
all during your week.
How Do
These Principles Help You?
The breakthroughs you have already experienced
in your life are proof that Bible principles work. As you go over the material and the questions
in this Christian’s Inquiry booklet, where do you fit into the subjects? Have you applied these principles to your
life in the past and received breakthroughs you could share with your
friends? Were there times when you
struggled with applying the principles and learned important things about how
to apply them? Ask Jesus to help you get
yourself and your friends involved in this study and prayer process.
An
Open-Book Test
When you are aware of what questions you need
to be asking yourself, and when you discuss these questions with a mentor or a
group of friends, frequently you will get more out of your studies and
prayers. Pray and ask Jesus to help you
take full advantage of this Christian’s Inquiry booklet and the questions in
it.
