More I Am Learning

Yesterday I shared a couple of things I am learning through engaging in training others to study the Bible.  Here is one more.

• A significant way to increase a person’s hunger for the Word is to set the table for them and then get out of the way.  What I mean by that is that if we give someone a portion of the Word of God, put that on the plate.  And then give them the tools to eat, how to make observations, what kinds of questions to ask of the text.  It is my experience that they will not only be able to eat, they will love it.  Our job as leaders is to get excited about what they find – really excited.  That will reinforce the experience and give them confidence in the process.

There is more learning, but I think I am going to stop there.
