The next Bible study methods class for men will be 7 AM, Saturday, January 31, 2009 at the First Baptist Church of Perryville, MD. Even if you do not come to the study, you can learn and practice this method to grow and stay fresh in your study. Men can come without doing the assignment and still learn. But you will learn more if you take the time to study and practice this method.

This month’s Bible study method: Pumping Proverbs.

The Proverbs are a practical help in gaining wisdom in life.  The assignment is:

1. Read Proverbs 4:23, 4:27, 14:22, 22:11.  Look for other verses on the same topic if you wish.

2. Rewrite each verse, paraphrasing it in your own words so that it brings out the author’s intended meaning.

3. Meditate (prayerfully think about) and write a personal application for each verse (i.e. What should change because this verse is true?).

4. Where possible, make a specific application of each verse for different spheres of your life:

a. Wife, girlfriend, or close friend.

b. Closest friend or associate.

c. Children or parents.

d. Work or school.

e. Church family

f. Unbelievers or your relationship with unbelievers.

The training and discussion will be led by Kenny McMullen. The First Baptist Church is located in Cecil County, on Route 40, 1 1/2 miles east of Route 222. The church is across Route 40 from the new construction where the Principio Health Center is being built.

The Bible study will be held at the church in the back classroom on the second floor. Easiest access is to drive around the building to the back parking lot. Use the back door. The main entrance will also be open. Bring your Bible, a pen or pencil, and your notes or paper to take down what you learn. Dress is casual. The study will last about an hour, but Mr. McMullen will stay longer for any with additional questions.
