    Hello everyone, I'm new to this but decided to try the internet as a tool. I have gone to church since I was little and have always believed in GOD, however it has been a long time since I have had a real and personal relationship with him. I'm trying to find a good study plan rather then flipping to random books. Something that I can build on slowly. Any help is appreciated!

    Personally, among other tools, I enjoy using a good study Bible. Now, I don't read every note alongside the text, but it's nice to have some readily available backup if I need some help with context.

    The new Zondervan NIV study bible or the CSB study bible would top my recommendations.

    Scripture, Scripture, Scripture. Everything else is man's opinion.

    Oh, and use the references in your bible. If the references link passage A to passage B, go ahead and check it out.

    Opinion must come from scripture in context. Scripture must never be taken out of context to support opinion.

    Study yes, but go into the world and dedicate yourself to helping others and you will find God very close to you.

    Matthew 10:39

    If your first concern is to look after yourself, you'll never find yourself. But if you forget about yourself and look to me, you'll find both yourself and me.
