- Matthew 5:31; 19:3-9 – Henry VIII started the Anglican Church because of marriage, divorce, and remarriage!

I should know that the Bible is understandable.
- John 20:30-31
- Ephesians 3:4-6
- Luke 10:25-28 – The Old Covenant law was readable and understandable.

I should be willing to admit, “I don’t know” instead of developing pride.

- Mark 12:18-27
- Job 23:1-7
- Deuteronomy 29:29

- Let us focus on what we do know rather than what is not revealed.
I should try to overcome my bias instead of pretending I don’t have any.

- I Peter 2:2
- Luke 15:11-32 – Parable of the prodigal son.

I should put the work in to actually read and study the Bible.
I should apply everything that is relevant to me.
- Ezekiel 33:30-33 – It does us no good if we don’t apply what we study!
