"Daily devotional reading is not Bible study. Neither is Bible memorization or even hearing a verse-by-verse sermon or lecture by a pastor, teacher, or in a group setting."

?? Sad.

"What happened was, I completely missed Acts Chapter 2..."

Sorry you missed it the first time through, repetition is good.

What is sad? I do not mean these things are not vital to the life of a believer. Maybe I need to make that more clear. I am not discounting the necessity of daily devotional reading or listening to the preaching and teaching from those blessed with such giftings.

What I am saying is that those, in and of themselves, are not Bible Study. And we as believers need to study the Word with vigor and persistance just as much as we read it as a daily devotional or as we here a God-given message.

"What happened was, I completely missed Acts Chapter 2..."

Sorry you missed it the first time through, repetition is good.

If someone is using an N.I.V. concordance to look up the word "church", they will miss completly Acts 2. Am I wrong? I have an K.J.V. concordance and even then it only picks up 2:47.

I stand by my assertion that that method of subject research of merely looking up a word in a concordance only is a poor, scattershot method of study.
