Study Tip: For some people, the best way to make the Bible a priority in your life is to put it at the start of every day. Rather than waiting for after homework, dinner, or whatever else you normally put before studying, consider setting your alarm 15 minutes earlier in the morning and spending that time reading thru that week's chapter. This can set the tone for your day, and give you a chance to apply the lessons of the chapter in your daily life.

WEEK 12: Review Luke 1-4

This week (November 20 thru November 26), please review Luke 1-4.

If you want to read the chapters online, click here. (Free website Biblegateway.Com)

DOWNLOAD: If you want to download the MP3s, review this old post.

If you'd like to read a commentary on the chapter, click here. (Free website, Biblegateway.Com)

Study Tip: Reviewing is often harder than your initial studying because the material is no longer new. In fact, some quizzers decide not to study because "I already know it." BAD IDEA! The brain is designed to forget things we do not review or use regularly. Be sure this week to review Chapters 1 thru 4 of Luke. If you are looking for a new way to view the book, try to look for how each chapter flows into the next, and the way that Dr. Luke tried to relate different scenes and discussions.

Parents: This is a time when you can be of real help to your quizzer. This week, help your teen to study by: (1) quizzing them on past chapters - they should have copies of all the questions we use at practice, (2) asking them challenging questions about the text, and (3) discussing ideas from the chapter as a family, to cement their importance in daily life.

Study Tip: Do you find it hard to study Luke, but can easily remember the words to the latest chart-topping song? Consider taking portions of your studying and setting it to music in your mind. Sometimes using a different part of your brain can cause it to more fully engage, and cause memory to be deeper and more effective. And, of course, be aware that there are a number of passages that are already set to music by Christian artists. Keep an ear out!

Study Tip: During the holiday season, it becomes increasingly difficult to stay focussed on Quiz Team. Parties, concerts, plays, and the like eat more and more into your daily study time. How do you cope? First, accept the fact that your life will have competing priorities and that sometimes Quiz Team can't be #1. Second, realize that we only HAVE time if we MAKE TIME. Set aside some time every day that you can for studying. Make it the same time, as much as possible, and try to be disciplined. Eventually, study time will become a habit, and something you won't have to work so hard to keep up.
