How to Read the Bible
articleOctober 20, 2026· 1 min read
A simple, sustainable way to begin reading Scripture and hearing from God through it.
The Bible is a library of sixty-six books written over many centuries, telling one story of God's love and redemption. If you are new, start with a Gospel, then read Acts, then a letter such as Philippians.
A simple method: Read a short passage slowly. Ask, What does this say about God? What does it say about people? How should I respond? Then pray it back to God.
Consistency matters more than quantity. A few verses read with attention can shape a whole day.
