3 Ways to Avoid Writing a Boring Bible Study


by Katy Kauffman @KatyKauffman28

I was shopping so much on Amazon one fall, that I thought about putting a sign with some cookies next to the pumpkins on my porch. The sign would greet every Amazon delivery driver with “Thank you for your visit,” so they wouldn’t get tired of coming. I don’t shop like the main character in Confessions of a Shopaholic which features Isla Fisher’s character, Rebecca, as an obsessed shopper, but she did say something that stuck with me.

Known for being quite candid, Rebecca told a banker that his bank had “the most boring window display.” She went on to say, “It’s like someone hit the snooze button in my brain.” When people read the Bible studies we write, we don’t want them to hit any snooze button or even think about snoozing.
