All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17

but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.  Hebrews 10:23-25

Bible Study Approach:
Inductive Bible Study
The Bible is our primary information resource for learning about God and what the Bible teaches.  The Bible is also our primary reference and final authority for interpreting and understanding what the Bible says.  The Bible is the best commentary on the Bible.  Studying the Bible using the inductive method involves three steps:
1. Observation - What does it say?
2. Interpretation - What does it mean?
3. Application - How do I apply it in my life?

Joining the MOB:

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12
