All of us have our own struggles. One of mine is that I want to learn more about my faith, but I don't always know how...
Here's a suggestion:
read the Bible!
The most I've ever used my bible in one sitting was to prepare for the Kaua'i Confirmation Retreat this past weekend. It has always been stressed that we use Scripture to support what we have to share. Fortunately, I found many, but I only used about five. I don't know about you, but my method was to go online, search the topic or keywords, and CTRL+F (Find). I needed a little guidance, so I refered back to the notes in my own bible and had small discussion with others. With the grace of God, I got what I needed.
But now that the retreat is over, what do I do? I don't need to research a topic, so I can't just go online. I started off with reading all the readings for this coming Sunday. What do I do after that? Why would I read the same thing for seven days?! That's CRAZY! So I asked someone who knows.
