Bible Junkie
Introduction – Trent not there
Probably finishing his devotions so he can teach “faithful” Bible Teaching…
Interruption – Trent asks, what are you doing?
- waiting for a teacher to show up to talk about the Bible
- Trent – I love the Bible, matter of fact…could I share something?

Should be true of our quiet time!!!
1 Thes 1:4-8
5When the Message we preached came to you, it wasn't just words. Something happened in you. The Holy Spirit put steel in your convictions. You paid careful attention to the way we lived among you, 6 and determined to live that way yourselves. In imitating us, you imitated the Master. Although great trouble accompanied the Word, you were able to take great joy from the Holy Spirit!—taking the trouble with the joy, the joy with the trouble.
7 Do you know that all over the provinces of both Macedonia and Achaia believers look up to you? 8 The word has gotten around. Your lives are echoing the Master's Word, not only in the provinces but all over the place. The news of your faith in God is out. We don't even have to say anything anymore—you're the message!

We accurately handle Biblical truth…
God Word Lives!!!
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12
Psalm 119: 1-8 read the Bible and you will be blessed
1)ways are blameless – outward reputation
2)seek him with all your heart – inward integrity
3)do nothing wrong – forward progress
8) don’t give up on me! NLT
Phil 2:15
119:3They do nothing wrong!
Read 8 verses and ask: How does the Word connect to our life?
God’s Word Works!!!
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15
Layingout the truth plain and simple msg
Christianity isn’t true because it works. It works because its true!!!
God’s Word Changes Lives!!!
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16,17
Teach us what is true
Make us realize what is wrong in our lives
Straightens us out
Teaches us to do what is right
Principles of Complete Preparation
1)The Audience is Sovereign
What they thought you said IS what was communicated!
Focus on the person, work, teachings of Christ…
2)Illustrate your talk - don’t talk your illustration
Hook Book Look Took
3)Make one point well. (BOOK, LOOK)
The whole truth… or nothing but the truth?
Focus on the person, work, teachings of Christ…
Do they need this, or does my ego need this?
4)What will they do because of this talk? (TOOK)
5)Know your first and last line.
I realize I’m not just a Bible Junkie. I’m a Jesus junkie. I’m hooked, but I’m hooked on the real thing.
