Most of us benefit from some sort of ‘structured’ devotion guide. In the student world, this becomes even more significant as they’re venturing for the first time into the abstract universe.
Here are some ideas to pass along:
- www.biblegateway.com - this is a fun, online way to do word studies. Simply introduce kids to it, give them a sample word (faith, money, doubt, authority) and watch them fly. They type in the word and see where it’s located in the Bible, how many times it’s used and how it’s used.
- Buy them a Bible – I’m surprised by how many kids have Bibles in their home but really no sense of ‘my Bible’. Options for students are numerous, many with built in studies
- Topical studies – Lots of studies exist that are related to gender (Five Aspects, Every Young Man’s Battle….) or other struggles
- Favorite studies – The things we’ve had to learn to get to where we’re at are often a great suggestion for our students as they get delivered with passion.
