Where do we study the Bible?

The Bible does not say where you must be to study it. You can study it in your bedroom, in your
personal study, at work before your working hours, or in your back yard or under a tree. However, here
are some suggestions:

1. Make sure the place you choose is without interruptions or a lot of background noise. You need
to put your full attention to your study.
2. Make sure you have access to the proper tools for Bible study. We will talk about that shortly,
but you may need to have a couple of translations of the Bible, a couple of commentaries, a
Bible dictionary, Vines Expository Dictionary of NT Words, a concordance, or perhaps a
computer, depending on the kind of study you plan to embark upon. Make sure you have
access to the necessary resources at the place you select.
3. Once you select a place, be disciplined to make that place your special place of study. That way,
if you discipline yourself to go there, you will be more disciplined to complete each day’s study.
4. Make sure your place of study is also a good place to pray.
