Helpful Information about the One Thing Study in general.
The One Thing Study is powerful. Don't confuse simple with shallow. The One Thing Study is life-changing because it connects the reader to the exact words that God wants him/her to know. Devotionals may be helpful, but at best, they consist of words selected by someone else. The One Thing study is the exact words chosen by the Holy Spirit. Meditating on that throughout the day, over time, is transforming.
The One Thing Study is essential. Disciple-making is vertical before it's horizontal— worship precedes witness. What we experience with God personally determines what we express about God publically.
The One Thing Study is a priority. It's the first tool to teach a new disciple. Remember the saying, "Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and feed him for life?" Teaching someone how to do a One Thing Study is like teaching them to fish; it's feeding them for life.
The One Thing Study is practical. Pray your One Thing over your family, other people, and issues of the day.
The One Thing Study is revealing. Listening to someone share their One Thing Study is like putting a spiritual stethoscope against their heart. It displays the true nature of their relationship with God.
