There are also some who choose not to bother themselves with taking the words of God in a serious manner. The Holy book is the most important book that was ever written in history. It is a book that contains all words of a living God to open the minds of his children about godliness and life.

There are many things to keep in mind when you teach those who are willing to join the ministry. It serves as a guideline in reading a scripture in public places.

First, try to determine the passage carefully. You should know and understand the tone, the genre, and main purpose for which it was made and written. Be sure to have an overall comprehension of what the passage means. Identify if the passage a meditative one that reflects on pain, persecution, or poetic ones.

If anyone has been tasked to read a specific passage, spend a few times in reading it to ensure you understand it. If this is not familiar to you and having a difficult time learning it, then it might be helpful to rely on other translations and research about it. If still unsure, ask someone who is experienced.

Once you understand certain things, you have to practice it. As you preach it, you try to understand its natural flow to ensure you learn the best ways in pronouncing the words. And because you will be preaching aloud, make sure to practice it loudly.

As you keep on practicing, you should learn each phrase and word that will be highlighted during the service. Look for a natural place to pause and the place where you should increase and decrease your volume. Your main task here is to show what is in the scriptures. Just be sure to practice any hard words.

Make sure to prepare everything before the service. The word of God highly deserves all your efforts. If you are stumbling and halting and even mispronouncing the words, then you are not serving your sisters and brothers well. As you see, the bible is the foundation truth that teaches everyone the history of everything in this world.
