Since our theme is Bible study this month, I’ve pondered how to write on the topic. I decided to ask  women who are special and close to me—that I have actually studied God’s Word with—some specific questions about studying the Bible. 

Some pointers from my heart:

Be flexible with yourself and the tools you use to study God’s Word. Be willing to allow yourself to modify the study tools you are using in order to work with what you enjoy and your schedule. 

Be grac...

“Chica,” said the gorgeous doctor with a set of fresh French tips and runway hair, “I’m prescribing you ten days of antibiotics, something to get rid of the mucus, and painkillers, just in case. If this doesn’t treat your sinusitis, there’s no more I can do. You’ll have to go to the specialist.”

And with those words, I bounced out the door, handing the receptionist and the clinic guard a sandwich bag tied with red curling ribbon filled with chocolate chip cookies, t...

When I was first let loose on this world at a meager 18 years old, I thought I knew so much. Fast forward almost 30 years and I actually chuckled to myself when writing that last sentence.

The thing about reading or studying the Bible—with any consistency, is eventually the reader will either regard its contents as credible and reliable or unbelievable and unreliable.

Should you or I agree the Scripture is trustworthy, it stands to reason we must make it our practice to keep and do what the Word of God says.

In Deuteronomy 4, we listen to one of the Bible’s most notable leaders, Moses, address the nation of Israel about the importance of keeping ...

Do you want to be prepared for what the world pushes against you, have the ability to defend your King well, and change the world for the better? My answer is yes, and if you are a child of God, most likely your answer is YES too! In order to do these things, we must know the significance of God’s Holy Armor and understand its vital importance to the survival of the soul (mind, will, and emotions), body, and spirit. That being said, today our focus is on the most i...
