The Power of Spiritual Habits

In this series, we will speak about some of the historic spiritual habits of the church. The habits themselves are good, but we will see that they are disciplines with no inherent power of their own, but when connected to the Holy Spirit, have infinite power. Spiritual habits act as a conduit that connects us to the power of the Holy Spirit. We not only open up and ask the Spirit to fill us, we create habits that give Him a conduit to fill us and use us to do God’s will.

The Habit of Bible Study

September 14, 2025 | 2 Timothy 3.16-17 | Bible study, habits

Americans today have more access to the Bible than any previous generation. Most us have several copies in various versions. We even Bible apps on our phones. Yet according to recent polls the overwhelming majority do not actually read those Bibles regularly, much less study or deeply engage with the Bible.

In the apostle Paul’s second letter to Timothy, he charged him to remain faithful to the study and preaching of God’s Word that God’s people might be thoroughly equipped for every good work. We can practice the spiritual habit of Bible study that we might be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
