In organizing any library, whether church or personal, it is important to be as organized as possible. The first thing to consider is what subjects should be included and how broad and narrow they should be. This will categorize the library into the essential sections. After that, choose the order of these groupings of books into the most natural order. So, if two categories were Old and New Testament commentaries, it would be natural for the Old to come before the New. Sometimes subcategories are necessary. For example Theology books may be a category, but divided into many smaller subcategories. As time goes by and more books are acquired this will become very useful.

Welcome back for part two as we continue looking at how to study the Bible. Here we will address one of the most time-consuming but perhaps the most important step in Bible study: observation. Observation is seeing what is in the holy text, and not seeing what we think is in the text. "Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law" (Ps. 119:18) As we seek to observe thing from God’s word, we need to read:
- Thoughtfully: looking for key words, figures of speech, quotations, surprises, ect.
- Repeatedly: so we begin to see the flow of ideas, development of themes and arguments
- Prayerfully: asking: "Is there a promise to claim, a command to obey, a truth to believe?"

"Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that is in thee... Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that they profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee" (1 Tim. 4:13-16). |
