Love enemies

Behaviors to correct

Genuinely love the Bible

Psalm 119; Mark 4:3-20

Look forward to Bible reading and teaching; talk about its benefits

If we’re not actively applying and teaching, it’s hard to read. Appreciate its treasures!

Read the news, novels, sports, homework, etc. all the time … and the Bible a few minutes on Sunday

Read the Bible

Psalm 1; I Corinthians 14:19 (point is to read and understand)

Read it yourself! Read together or aloud. Help through difficulties in habit forming, understanding

Be aware; judgment needed with translations and paraphrases

Reading it just to check a box.
