The bible is filled with so much knowledge, stories, and hope, that it can be overwhelming when you’re going through situations while living in the hurt and pain and waiting for it to end. Why study the bible? When your hurting and in pain, looking for an answer to the pain of the situation, who or where can you turn to during those times? The Bible. Need encouragement? The Bible. A good romance story? The Bible. And everything in between. The scripture says in Hebrews 4:12 – ” For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double edge sword, Penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” This [Continue Reading…]
Family bible study devotions
I LOVE family bible studies. It’s a time, we get to sit down and share about our day and about God. While my kids got up this morning, they started eating breakfast and I was up and ready to start bible study. Eating and talking about God is one of the best time we have together. I got the opportunity to read Tony Evans and his son Jonathan Evans, new devotional book: Kingdom Family devotional 52 weeks of growing together. I LOVE it. I started with Jesus Calling for kids. This devotional is great and filled with fun stories and scripture they can memorize and run with. I felt that my kids needed something more meatier, but still gives a fun twist to scripture that’s rememberable and at the same [Continue Reading…]
How to start a bible study with your children
In my years of growing up in my mother’s house, I didn’t go church or learn about God until later in life. I never really heard of people doing bible study at home with their family or children until I started going to church regularly. Even then, I still didn’t know how to start one. I really just depended on the Sunday school teacher, at my church, to teach my kids the bible and if my kids had questions, I would gladly answer them. I’ve always wanted to do it but I’ve always felt inadequate to teach my children because I was learning myself. I felt like what CAN I teach my kids, when I barely knew the bible. My husband was always working and deploying, so it was hard [Continue Reading…]
P052: Family bible study
My heart is that my children experience God for themselves and live a life that is devoted to doing what God has called them to do and that they thrive and do great and mighty things for the kingdom. The scripture that inspires me and that holds a special place in my heart is John 17:20-21 (ESV)- “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.” This is just a little bit of the scripture that talks about Jesus and the father being one, I [Continue Reading…]
Bible Belles: Hannah the belle of prayer book review
I am always on the lookout for biblical stories, bible studies to do with my children. The kids and I had a chance to do bible study BEFORE going off to school (we normally have bible study after dinner, before bedtime), this was a MOMENTOUS occasion, I had to take a picture, we’re usually running around yelling (mostly me) in the morning trying to get out the house and in school on time… It’s always nice to slow down and take time to read God’s word and pray. Bible Belles is a new series designed to give little girls female heroes to look up to. It tells the stories of Women in the Bible through the lens of a modern little girl named Roony Cruz. This is a wonderful story [Continue Reading…]
