I recently came across Dr. Michael Heiser for the first time. I am just starting to explore his material but what I have seen so far has been top-notch.
One of his emphases is on moving beyond personal "Bible reading" to "Bible study". Heiser rightly points out they are not the same thing.
In his compact book Brief Insights on Mastering Bible Study, the author entitles his 4th chapter "Bible Study is a Discipline, Not a Ritual Event".
He writes:
I am of the opinion that most people are not likely to move directly from zero to full-speed ahead when it comes to Bible study. Establishing a routine can only help.
My dissertation is going to be designed to help individuals create and sustain a simple Bible habit. A ritual.
But the end goal is to get people hooked on the Bible. A discipline.
Regular delving into Scripture --> Hearing from God --> Craving more --> Ever deeper study.
