"The best work you can do is to teach, to educate...Preach less, and educate more, by holding Bible Studies"...--Gospel Workers, p. 193. (1915) {Ev 484.1}

"Take time to teach, to hold Bible Studies. Get the points and texts fastened in the minds of the hearers. Let them ask questions, and answer them in the plainest, simplest manner possible, so that the mind can grasp the truths presented" . . . . {Ev 441.3}

As we undertake the study of the Bible, what inspired council are we given to guide us when we attempt to explain the meaning of its verses?
"The language of the Bible should be explained according to its obvious meaning". {GC 598}
