Strength to Strength Sisters welcomed Carol Nisly to share about cultivating meaningful personal Bible Study.
He to whom the Eternal Word speaketh is delivered from a multitude of opinions.
Thomas à Kempis
I find there is no shortage of opinions on most any topic under the sun, and many of them leave me anxious. With Simon Peter, I say, “Lord, You have the words of life.”
While the amount of time spent in personal, quiet Bible study varies with the seasons of a woman’s life, I believe it is always possible to meditate on and to internalize its truths. What are some keys to regular, nourishing, and satisfying Bible study? What keeps us from studying? What tools have others found helpful? Is there a difference between having devotions and being devoted?
I hope you will join me in discussion about how to cultivate this important habit and to be delivered from the opinions of men, including our own.
An interactive question-and-answer period follows.
At home in southeast Kansas, I am anticipating my 60th birthday this year! Stan and I have two adult daughters and find our lives full and rich with relationships. We love learning new things and dreaming together of what might be better in our marriage, family, and church life.
My word for this year is “cradled.” Each day, I seek to live as the beloved child of a generous Father, not the anxious child hoping to earn a way into the family. Our address is not Eden, but I am certain of how the story will end for those found in Christ! As Dorothy Sayers said it, “All the way to Heaven is Heaven, because Jesus is the way.” Because of Him, I can live with join in imperfect circumstances.
