    About this ebook

    Are you getting the spiritual nourishment you need?
    We all know what it’s like to eat an unbalanced diet or consume too many sweets. We feel sick, light-headed, and occasionally depressed, or we become irritated and edgy. It’s the body’s way of letting us know that it’s lacking sufficient nourishment. Optimal health requires optimal nutrition. The same is true, spiritually speaking. Without sufficient and regular biblical nutrition, our inner lives begin to suffer the consequences. We become shallow and selfish, more demanding, and less gentle. We react impatiently, rashly, and angrily. These are tell-tale signs of inner malnutrition.

    In God’s Word for You, respected Bible teacher Chuck Swindoll shows us how to dig into Scripture and uncover its profound truths for our lives. Chuck invites us to sit down and feast on the truths found in God’s Word.

      God's Word for You - Charles R. Swindoll

      INTRODUCTION

      F

      OR MORE THAN SIXTY YEARS

      I have cultivated a love for the Bible and have pursued an understanding of it. My purpose in writing this book is to help you do the same.

      First, I’d like to offer an explanation of how this love affair started. As early as my late teens, I was drawn to the truths of God’s Word and captivated by its wisdom—in large part because I was reared by a mother and a father who believed in God and respected the Scriptures. They used the Bible’s counsel as a guideline for our home, often quoting from its pages as my older brother, Orville; my older sister, Luci; and I were growing up.

      Having grown up in that type of environment, I was interested in cultivating a relationship with a woman who had standards similar to mine. When Cynthia and I met, I quickly realized that she was the one, and we found a mutual interest in digging into the Scriptures. We regularly attended Bible studies together in order to establish our home on the rock-solid foundation of the Bible.

      Shortly after we were married, I had a sixteen-month stint overseas with the Marine Corps, where I intensified my study of the Bible, thanks to a man named Bob Newkirk, a representative of the Navigators. It became clear to me during that time that I should pursue an even deeper study of Scripture at a seminary. Within weeks after my discharge from the Marine Corps, in the summer of 1959, Cynthia and I were on our way to Dallas Theological Seminary.

      It was during that time that I became acquainted with Dr. Howard G. Hendricks, who taught a course called Bible Study Methods. Even though I had been a student of the Bible since my late-teen years, I began to realize how incomplete my approach to the Scriptures had been. Thanks to what I learned in this magnificent course of study from Prof Hendricks, I finally discovered how to engage in a meaningful and reliable process of searching the Scriptures.

      For me, opening up God’s Word became like a banquet feast. Because these principles have served me so well for more than fifty years of ministry, I want to pass them on to others—including you. As a result of learning them and putting them into practice, you, too, can know the fulfillment of opening the pages of your Bible without feeling fearful or intimidated. You, too, can share confidently with others what you glean from your study of the Scriptures.

      This book includes thirty daily readings to help you begin to study and apply Scripture. They will give you an overview of the Bible as well as an understanding of why God’s Word is as vital to us as breathing.

      The process of getting God’s Word into your head and heart is like passing a baton in a relay. The aging missionary Paul wrote these words to Timothy: Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others (2 Timothy 2:2). God’s design is to equip us to search the Scriptures on our own and then to pass on the baton to others with great joy and quiet confidence.

      God’s Word is indeed for you!
