“Thus the reason I need Bible study. Bible study not only helps me stay in His Word daily  (and I NEED His Word daily), but it also gives me a group of fellow believers who can  hold me accountable and who can help me in my walk with Christ.  “

“The Bible surpasses all other books as to authority, antiquity, literature, and popularity.” Unlike historical books, the Bible points to our future as well as our beginning. The authors of the Bible were directed by God the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:20-21). Reading the Bible is a form of worship. The Bible is the Word of God!

Life gets busy, and sometimes we fail to fix our thoughts on Jesus. Whenever we take the time to focus on him, the day is better! If you look for Him, you will see that He is always there, waiting for us to look to Him.

The dearest part of the story is God’s response. I can only imagine His face as He tells them the consequences. I bet he glared at the serpent and then smirked as the flying beauty dropped to the ground and slithered away…

I have a lot of questions. And, the process of thinking through possible explanations is actually sort of fun for me — like some people must feel when they solve a puzzle or understand a really difficult math equation. Most of my questions have to do with the Bible…
