John Piper Sermons How Can I Make Daily Bible Reading Authentic?

This new teaching by Pastor John Piper titled “How Can I Make Daily Bible Reading Authentic?” is what we are bringing to you to listen to and meditate on.

In the following sermon, Pastor John gets into the topic of how we ensure that our daily Bible-reading discipline is authentic and not rote. Let’s begin with some thoughts here now from Romans about how to read a text like this in a way that changes us deeply. There are thirteen exhortations in just verses 9–13.

Pastor John takes us to the book of Romans 15. I asked the apostle Paul, “Paul, have you got any help for us here on how to read chapter 12?” And Paul said, “Yes, it’s here in 15:15–16.”

On some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder . . .

Here are Three Principles for Daily Bible Intake

1.Pray as you read: Pray as you read, because if the Holy Spirit is the one who takes the Bible and applies it to us so that it really produces an alteration in our whole demeanor and our way of seeing God and our way of treating each other, then we should ask him.

2.Look to Jesus: When you look away to Jesus, the satisfaction that comes from him is the ground and root by which you become free from hypocrisy. So, that’s number two: look away in faith to Jesus, not to yourself.

3.Meditate on small portions: Slow down and meditate on these words. I know this is tough because, on the one hand, you hear a message coming from this pulpit, “Read the Bible; read the whole Bible. Get your Discipleship Journal reading plan and read the Bible all the way through in one year.
