Devotional Study Form

In order to get the most out of personal Bible study, try using a form like this one:Devotional Study Form

This form comes from Rick Warren’s Bible Study Methods, chapter 1, pp.33-47.

Reading the above is like a flashback from the old Masterlife days; very similar…

  1. Perimeter the Verse – what is before or after the verse.
  2. Paraphrase the Verse – into your own words.
  3. Pulverize the Verse – emphasize each word by exclamation.
  4. Personalize the Verse – what is the significance to you?
  5. Pray the Verse Back to God – lift his own Word to him.
  6. Parallel Verses – other passages on a similar theme.
  7. Problems in the Verse – what needs resolution in your mind and heart?
  8. Possibilities of Helping Others in the Verse – actions to consider.
  9. Protracted Study – other notes, ideas, outlines, etc.

[ Masterlife I, Guide to Meditation, pp.195-196, Waylon Moore]

    Thank you for sharing this helpful devotional study framework. It’s always encouraging to see various methods designed to deepen personal Bible study. I recently came across another structured approach called the DRINK Devotional Method; it guides believers through Scripture with practical daily steps: Devotional Reading, Reflection, Instruction, Now Live It, and Kneel in Prayer. If anyone is interested, you can explore it here: https://edmonagron.com/drink-devotional-method. Blessings to your ministry!
