How Do I Find the Time to Study Greek???


There are a couple of answers to this.  The first is...
 

Reorganize Priorities for a (relatively) Short Time

Over the years, I several times read through the Bible in a year.  The pace of this was relentless.  If you missed a single day, it felt like one got hopelessly behind.

Late last year, I again started a plan to read though the Bible in a year, this time with a doing it with friend.  We would get together by Zoom once a month to discuss interesting things we found.

But once I began teaching this Greek class, I had to discontinue my through-the-Bible reading plan.  It was simply too much.  Instead, my own times of Scripture meditation over the past few months have centered on these passages we do together in class.

If you have an existing commitment in Bible study, I am not asking you to give it up...just put it on hold for a period of time while you do a deep-dive into Acts.

 

Think of Greek Studies not as a class you are taking, but as part of your daily walk with God

The second answer is for those who do not yet have a regular routine of daily Bible reading.

In my own life, the single most transformative thing has not been the worship services I have gone to, nor the sermons I have heard, nor even the small-group Bible studies I have been in with friends...

...but times I have spent on my own, reading in the Word of God.  Think of this as an opportunity to start a new habit, a habit that can change who you become over the next 20 or 30 years.

An aspect of this is don't think of Greek as an add-on to your daily quiet time.  Rather, think of your Greek work as an integral part of your devotional Bible reading.
