• “Genuine revival will not be popular with everyone…it will divide…between those who want to build their own kingdom and those who want to build the Kingdom of God, between those who are attached to their own ideas and those who are committed to the Word of God” – Nancy DeMoss

What Does It Say? by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 01/03/12

“I read the Bible every day, but there are some times I get to the end of a passage and realize that I have no clue what I just read!”

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: Before we can interpret and apply God’s Word, we need to understand what it says. Here are a few ways you can answer the question, “What does it say?”

One is to summarize. Write down a brief overview of the passage, including the major points.

Another idea is to paraphrase. Write the passage in your own words.

Or you can ask questions, as if you were writing a news story.

  • Who wrote it?
  • What happened?
  • When was it written?
  • Where did this happen?
  • How did it happen?
  • Why was this written?

Discover what the passage says; then you can apply it to your life.

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy Leigh DeMoss.
