PRECEPT
Tools for Life-changing
Bible Study
Discover the Riches of God’s Word
Precept is
dedicated to helping men, women, teens,
and even children discover the Bible—the
treasure that is God’s Word to us.
God’s Word is essential to our
everyday life. We are to live by
every word that proceeds from the
mouth of God (Matthew 4:4). He gave
us the Bible so we can know Him and
know how to please Him.
Precept
Bible Study gives you easy to use,
practical tools so you can discover
the riches of God’s Word for yourself.
After completing just one course, you
will be equipped with effective skills
that you can apply to your personal
study time. As you continue in Precept
Bible studies, you will grow in
knowledge and understanding of God and
His ways—precept upon precept.
“Be
diligent to present yourselves approved
to God as a workman who does not need to
be ashamed, handling accurately the Word
of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15
The first
time you step into a Precept class, you
will recognize that this is no ordinary
Bible study.
Our
leaders are equipped to disciple you
as you learn to accurately handle
God’s Word. In every lesson, you
will learn to properly observe
Scripture, understand its
meaning, and apply it to your
life.
Most Precept
courses include personal Bible study at
home to prepare for class. Then you will
join others in an interactive discussion
of the week’s lesson. You’ll enjoy a
unique fellowship as you participate
with others who share your desire to
know God through His Word.
Do you long
for a closer relationship with God? Do
you desire a deeper understanding of His
Word? Do you want to study the Bible but
you don’t know how?

“The precepts of the Lord are
right, rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is pure,
enlightening the eyes.” Psalm 119:8
Kay Arthur, who along with her husband,
Jack, is the founder of Precept
Ministries International, recently
wrote, “There is truly something
profoundly glorious when we approach
God’s Word in solitude, just God, just
you, just me. He reaches our hearts in a
personal way and provides direction for
our individual life situations.”
Here
is what Precept students have to say:
“I grew up in a church family, but I
never learned how to study the
Bible. Precept has made a huge
difference in my relationship to
God. I’ve learned more in two years
than in all the years before put
together.”
“This is such a good tool that God
uses to change my life.”
“What a difference this has made! My
faith has been increased in that I
know that God will reveal His Word
to me… personally. I don’t have to
be satisfied having someone explain
it.”
“Being in Precept has kept me closer
to the Lord and in His Word
everyday.”
“Precept has shown me how to read
God’s Word with care and purpose.
This method of study has opened my
eyes, my heart, and my soul. Now His
Word has captured me and my desire
is to stay in His Word until the day
I can sit at His feet.”
No
matter where you are in your journey
with God, there is a Precept Bible study
for you!
