​She Loves Truth Week Five Proverbs 13-15
Today, we're at the halfway point in our Summer 2020 Book Club-Style Bible Study--She Loves Truth.

Practical wisdom for living is the central theme of the book of Proverbs. In Proverbs 1:7 and 9:10, we are told that the beginning and essence of wisdom is the fear of the Lord.

This summer, we are looking for truth in a 10-week study of the book of Proverbs. Join us each Tuesday morning at 9:00, June 2 - August 4, and let’s seek truth together and record what we find because She Loves Truth!

​So far, we've looked at 
Proverbs 1-3: Trust in the Lord​, Proverbs 4-6: Practical Truths For Living, Proverbs 7-9: The Blessings of Wisdom, and Proverbs 10-12: Truths to Help You Thrive. This week we'll be studying the Wisdom and Truth of Proverbs 13-15.

How Do You Teach Your Children?

How Do You Teach Your Children?
This is a breakout post from our 27-day devotional, Come and Gather: Family Time With God, or what we lovingly refer to as Gather. You'll find this post featured in Part Two: Days 6-10 A Walk Through God’s Word.

Our theme today is parental responsibility and our text is from Exodus 12:14-28.

God had come to the point of deliverance for the Israelites. It was now time to free them from bondage, and from the heavy hand of Pharaoh. In preparation for this great work of God directions were given to Moses regarding what to tell the people and how to prepare. This was going to be a great work of God on behalf of His chosen people and for this reason it was to be remembered. God gave clear directions to Moses regarding the observance of the Passover feast. It was in the midst of these important preparations that a lesson was to be taught.

Welcome to week four of our Summer 2020 Book Club-Style Bible Study--She Loves Truth.

​
I know no other book of the Bible that says more about truth than Proverbs. The book of Proverbs is full of truth. In Proverbs 14:1-12, Solomon tells us the best place to seek truth is in God’s Word. So, let’s do that today!

​This summer, we are looking for truth in a 10-week study of the book of Proverbs. Join us each Tuesday morning at 9:00, June 2 - August 4, and let’s seek truth together and record what we find because She Loves Truth!

Regret’s Role in Redemption

​Thank God we don’t have time machines! 

I don’t know about you, but if God had allowed some scientist out there in the world to invent a time machine, I would probably spend the majority of my time inside it, rewinding to countless scenes in my life that I would greatly love to “do over.” 

And that’s why the God who exists outside of time and space has seen fit to make us humans here on earth live a very chronological existence.

She Loves Truth Week Three ​Proverbs 7-9
Welcome to week three of our Summer 2020 Book Club-Style Bible Study--She Loves Truth.

Making any decision requires a thought process. Proverbs 14:15 cautions us not to believe everything we hear. “The simple believes everything, but the prudent gives thought to his steps.” We can’t believe everything we hear or read. Instead, we should take our time and work through decisions with prayer. We don’t have to make decisions based on other people’s opinions. After all, what God has to say on the subject matters the most. We must be prudent and seek out the truth.

​This summer, we are looking for truth in a 10-week study of the book of Proverbs. Join us each Tuesday morning at 9:00, June 2 - August 4, and let’s seek truth together and record what we find because She Loves Truth!

Stick to it Even in the Midst of the Mundane

Stick to it Even in the Midst of the Mundane

This summer has taken on a strange tone and mood for me. After being home for several months as a result of the COVID pandemic, the normal school year detox and relaxing that would take place has been given a head start. Relaxing on the porch with a cup of coffee clad in my comfy t-shirt and yoga pants has been the norm for months. I have enjoyed soaking up all the downtime and letting the non-essential details of life take a back seat. So much good in our family has come out of this time, but there is one thing that can never be granted a lackluster determination. Relaxed living can’t mean relaxed parenting.

She Loves Truth Week Two Proverbs 4-6
Welcome to week two of our Summer 2020 Book Club-Style Bible Study--She Loves Truth.

How do you know whom to listen to or what advice to take when you have an important decision to make?

With the Internet, we have access to an overwhelming amount of information. Well-meaning people tell us all sorts of things.

Some of it is true and some of it is not. It’s up to us to discern the difference between the two. Proverbs 14:6 says: “A scoffer seeks wisdom in vain, but knowledge is easy for a man of understanding.”

​We want wisdom and knowledge, we want to be women of understanding, and we hunger for truth.
