"Study to Show Yourself Approved"
Posted on Wednesday, May 09, 2007 at 11:39 AM by Jason Barker
Fr. Christopher Metropulos, the executive director of the Orthodox Christian Network and host of Come Receive the Light, has written a brief article encouraging Orthodox Christians to study and learn more about their faith. His paragraph on studying Holy Scripture is worth repeating here:
Second, we can become serious students of the Holy Scriptures. St. John Chrysostom said that one cannot be a good Christian and be ignorant of Holy Scriptures. There are some who may think that the Orthodox aren't very interested in studying the Bible, that Bible study is "too Protestant," but they'd be wrong. We Orthodox should be the ones at the forefront of knowledge about the Holy Scriptures. Attend the Bible studies at your church. Your priest will be glad (and, maybe even surprised) to see you! And if there isn't one, work with your priest to form one.
