“KNOWLEDGE GROWTH AND RETENTION” PRAY We cannot ask God too often for His help in reading, studying, learning and obeying His Word! DO NOT ACCEPT INTERRUPTIONS Nothing is more important than your study of God’s Word … NOTHING! HAVE YOUR TOOLS WITHIN REACH Your Bible, paper and pencil, concordance, dictionary, and DESIRE TO LEARN should be the “tools on the bench” as you study! READ IT OUT LOUD ~ TWO OR THREE TIMES How ever many times is needed to RETAIN what you read is the “right amount” of times to read the text! Reading out loud forces you to HEAR the word … “take heed how you hear!” (Luke 8:18 )
