One Minute Bible Study?

Several years ago, the Holman Publishing Company, introduced  a new Bible called the “One Minute Bible.” The advertisement for this Bible asks, “Never seem to have enough time to regularly read the Bible?” It then goes on to describe how the book is arranged into 366 daily one minute Bible readings that highlight “every primary Biblical topic and theme.”

Just like “instant” coffee, now there is “instant” Bible knowledge available, and all it takes is one minute per day!

Here are my thoughts on the One Minute Bible.

As members of the Lord’s church, we need to maintain the attitude and zeal of the Psalmist regarding the study of God’s Word in Psalm 1:2, “But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.”

Dear reader, if we will realize the importance of Bible study and devote the necessary time (yes, much longer than a minute!) in gaining a proper knowledge of God’s Word, then the false teachers in this land will have a much more difficult task in trying to lead people away from God's divine truth (Ephesians 4:11-15; cf. Acts 17:11; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:16-17).
