More about your Bible

I've written before to encourage you to mark up your Bible and make it a great tool for ministry. Here are some ideas for things to include:

Key notes from good sermons in the margins
Outlines of devotions you've done in the past -- they will be useful again!
Great quotes from books and speakers that are worth reviewing, and sharing
Doctrinal outlines (I have the 12 points of doctrine for the EFCA)
Bible reading plan
A Biblical outline for sharing the Good News with people

So this is about making an ever-better tool for you to use in the Lord's service. But keep in mind the truth of what's really needed most -- Christ in you. Consider these words from Robert Murray M'Cheyne, the great Scottish Puritan pastor: "What my people need most is my personal holiness. That's right. But human holiness is nothing more than a God-besotted life."
