In Bright Moments & In Trouble

Unless we form the habit of going to the Bible in bright moments as well as in trouble, we cannot fully respond to its consolations because we lack equilibrium between light and darkness.

Accurately Handling the Word of Truth

What is important? If you have a personal relationship with Christ, you have a wonderful blessing in this life and that is to get to know Jesus better and share Him with others! We get to know the person of Christ through the study of His Word. We get to know the character of God through the study of His Word.

Bible Study.  So how do we go about studying the Word of God so that we may handle it accurately? First, while it maybe obvious, we must take the time to read the Word of God. Watch Dr. Woodrow Kroll as he speaks about What's the Best Way to Study the Bible?

Are you willing to settle? When you come across a passage of Scripture that seems baffling to you or appears to conflict with another passage of Scripture, do you investigate further or do you settle? It is important that we not settle but that we 'contend' for the Word and love God "with all of our heart(s), soul(s) and mind(s)." Some resources you can use for this purpose are Biblical Commentaries some of which you can access for free on BibleGateway.com.

Let Your Study in the Word of God 
Increase your Love for God.

Backed Into A Corner -- Thank God

The capacity to respond to adversity with faith and gratitude is not limited to spiritual "superheroes." Choosing Gratitude - Nancy Leigh DeMoss Precarious Position. Many times we find ourselves in a place where we would rather not be and our desire may be to run and hide. However, running and hiding may not be viable options and are probably not what God is asking of us in the current situation. The problems and issues we will face in life vary greatly from health, to relationship/marriage, finances, to the stress of looking for a job, or maybe like Job, we might have lost everything -- family and possessions. Often, it is when we have done everything in our human power to ameliorate our situation and fail miserably that we remember God. photo credit:  cindy47452  via  photopin   cc Powerful Response. When we find ourselves in situations and recognize our only choice is to look up to God we can have victory and relief. When we take the time to thank the Fathe

Common Ground: The Road Less Traveled

The Presence of God.  Ruth and Naomi found themselves in very trying circumstances after each suffered the loss of a husband and the inescapable grief that accompanies death. Scripture gives us a snapshot into their lives and we get a glimpse of the strong bond of friendship that took place between Ruth and Naomi. Was it the deep sense of   grief that brought these two women together in a way they had never experienced before? Perhaps these women were drawn to each other because they knew they were “alone” in the world.  More importantly, the presence of God is evident by Ruth's response to her mother-in-law.  Ruth reminds us and reminded Naomi of God's presence. The presence of God is the bond that unites our hearts as brothers and sisters in Christ. The Road Less Traveled photo credit:  B Gilmour.  via  photopin   cc Mutual Commitment. Naomi urged Ruth to go home to her mother in Moab hoping that Ruth would find another husband. Ruth refused to leave Naom
