We are offering three courses of study at this time. It is our sincere desire that you will make good use of the materials in this section, for this is the purpose for which we exist. At Cedar Lane Chapel Ministries, we want to encourage God's people to study the Bible, for themselves, that they might become acquainted with God's Word for His last day people.
To get the most from this Bible study experience, you will want to do all the lessons and readings in the order that they are presented here. Each of the studies will serve as a stand alone lesson on the various topics, but they have been arranged so that they will build, like one stone upon another in the building of a beautiful wall. One study will make a foundation for another. Even the sections are placed in order of importance. The subject of salvation is always the starting point for a perfect understanding of the Bible; next doctrine; and finally the prophetic word. Doctrine is meaningless, unless we first give our hearts to Jesus. Likewise, the prophecies will do us no good, unless we first dedicate our lives to following the doctrines of God's Word.
Please begin by going through "The Science of Salvation" section first. Studying the Bible is somewhat like building a house. Remember Jesus told us to build our houses on the solid Rock, and "The Science of Salvation" helps us to do just that. Then and only then, are we ready to learn more about what God expects from His people in "Doctrines and Issues." And then we will be prepared to take a sweeping look at "HISstory" from the past and into the future in "Understanding Bible Prophecy."
Remember, if you take one piece out of the puzzle and make your judgment of the "BIG" picture, you will get a very narrow look at it. BUT, if you put the puzzle together, one piece at a time, and diligently continue until you have all the pieces, you will be able to see the "BIG" picture in all it's wonderful glory!
Always remember to have prayer before you study! God's Holy Spirit is the most important ingredient for successful Bible study!
