I was doing some cleaning and sorting today when I came across a handout I picked up in 2005 at our denomination's Fall Conference, which our church hosted. In today's fast-paced world, these may seem old-fashioned, but they are worth striving for.
Advice for Christian Workers by D.L. Moody
1. Have for constant use a portable reference Bible, a concordance, and a topical textbook.
2. Always carry a Bible or Testament in your pocket.
3. Do not be afraid of marking it or making marginal notes.
4. Set apart time each day for study and meditation.
5. Always seek God to open the eyes of your understanding.
6. Cast every burden of doubt upon the Lord.
7. Believe in the Bible as God's revelation to you, and act accordingly. Reverence all Scripture.
8. Learn at least one verse of Scripture each day. Verses committed to memory will be wonderfully useful in your daily life.
9. Try at any cost to master the Bible. You ought to know it better than anyone in your congregation or class. Adopt a systematic plan for Bible Study and strive to be exact in quoting Scripture.
10. Always practice Ezra 7:10: Prepare your heart to study and obey the way of the Lord.
A challenge to each of us. May we take these to heart as we persevere in the service of God.
