There's an old saying that nothing good happens fast. I don't know if that's altogether true, but it does have some bearing on Bible study.

So the first reason for studying Scripture is that it is a means of spiritual growth. There is none apart from the Word. It is God's primary tool to develop you as an individual.

Never traffic in unpracticed truth.

Experience is not the best teacher; evaluated experience is.

Christian education is a bomb with a long fuse - it takes a while to go off.

Our problem is that we are in the Word but not under the Word.

I assure you, where prayer focuses power falls.
