"Whenever we study the Scriptures we should ask ourselves the following questions:
1) What does it teach us?
2) In what areas of our lives does it rebuke us?
3) What healing, restoring, transforming effect does this teaching have?
4) How does this section of Scripture equip me to serve Christ (and the body of Christ) better?"
Sinclair Ferguson, Faithful God: An Exposition of the Book of Ruth (pg. 10)
