Husbands and Fathers: How to Start a Family BIBLE Study for Beginners (Part 2 of 2)

Part 2 of 2: Allen Wolfe (www.BalancingTheSword.com) offers a few basic suggestions for starting your family Bible studies. Recommendations are specifically for men who have little to no knowledge of the Scripture. A man's ministry to his family is commanded by God, but many husbands and fathers feel unprepared or overwhelmed. Allen Wolfe speaks of the essential nature of the Bible and the limited benefit of all other study aids, including Balancing the Sword. In part two, Allen speaks of the Matthew Henry Commentary, on-line tools, Bible dictionaries (e.g., Smith's Bible Dictionary and Easton's Bible Dictionary), the Strong's Concordance, retailers who promote products over the Scripture, the Balancing the Sword books, the BTS questions and illustrations, interaction, creating a Bible reading plan, the BTS Reading Planner software, and the importance of the Scripture coupled with sustaining desire.

You're right, Glenn. I need to provide a more on how to conduct the actual Bible study with ones family.

By the way, small success.  Three consecutive days with the fam in the word and counting. It's usually a disaster, but we're doing it!

You still have that Stacey's video of their family Bible time? That's a good starting point.

Hey, man, I guess I can relay this better in person, but I found the two videos to spend a lot of time on the resources you can use, and not much time on what you actually do during that time. What do I do with my fam when I sit down with all those books?
