One of the things that we seek to do here at Ardgowan Square is help people know how to read their Bibles. We do this for a few reasons.
- The Bible is God’s Word
- The Bible is how God speaks to us today
- The Bible teaches us about Jesus
Besides attending things like training courses at Cornhill Scotland, there are resources that can help us to read the Bible on our own as part of a devotional practice. For me, personally, that comes in the form of the RANSOM Bible study method.
The RANSOM method is a simple system for reading, studying, and meditating on Scripture. You can try it out for yourself by checking out this resource or you can join us at our Sunday Night Firesides to learn how it works through a more guided process.
Some people put together incredibly complex systems that involve multiple notebooks and coloured highlighters and pens. The RANSOM method requires only a Bible and a place to write your observations and notes.
I commend it to you as something which has been very helpful for me personally in both my own devotional practice and in my work as a Bible teacher and pastor here.
