Strange Times

Those are two words I’m hearing a lot lately. They’re fitting for these days we’ve been walking through since a tiny virus grew to mammoth proportions and crushed normalcy under its weight. It feels as if everything in our world has changed over the last several months. And as a result of all the changes, all the people are feeling all the feelings. And they all want us to know. Life can be more than a little overwhelming right now. Social Media has become a battle zone as voices rise to carry over one another.

​She Loves Truth Week Nine Proverbs 25-27

​She Loves Truth Week Nine Proverbs 25-27
Welcome to week nine of our Summer 2020 Book Club-Style Bible Study--She Loves Truth. 

Although the book of Proverbs names multiple individuals as authors of its various sections, King Solomon was uniquely qualified to serve as the principal author for this book of wisdom.

Solomon asked God for wisdom as he reigned over Israel, a request God granted. He identified himself as the source of most of Proverbs. His name appears at the beginning of three distinct sections of the book (chapters 1, 10, and 25) covering almost all of the first twenty-nine chapters.

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!

​Who Is Directing Your Steps?
Pin this for later
I don’t know about you, but I am a planner.
​
  • I like to get a fresh calendar at the start of the year and plan out how I think things should go.
  • I like lists to keep my tasks for the week ahead properly organized.
  • Even each day, I like to plan when I will do certain things based on the weather.

Some of you might be thinking I need an intervention due to my excessive planning!

​She Loves Truth Week Eight Proverbs 22-24
Welcome to week eight of our Summer 2020 Book Club-Style Bible Study--She Loves Truth. 

The Book of Proverbs is one of the Wisdom Books of Hebrew Scripture, along with Job, Psalms, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon.

The primary purpose of the book is to teach wisdom, not only to the young and inexperienced but also to the learned. Proverbs personifies wisdom as an idealistic woman.

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

Exercising Our God-Given Ability
​to Love in a World Torn by Fear

In a line of expressionless, masked faces spaced six feet apart, people of all ages, colors, backgrounds, and ethnicities wait. They wait to walk into stores where they will cringe at touching what other fingers have touched and leave quickly to sanitize their hands and stay home where it is safe from:
 
  • Germs. 
  • Violence and riots. 
  • Racial tension. ​

​She Loves Truth Week Seven Proverbs 19-21
Welcome to week seven of our Summer 2020 Book Club-Style Bible Study--She Loves Truth. 

The book of Proverbs is a collection of Israelite wisdom literature. The book includes the work of various authors, but much of it is attributed to King Solomon.

​It dates from between the 10th and 6th centuries BC. Even though it was penned long ago, it's still very much relevant to our lives 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

God is in Tune With My Voice As if it is The Only One

God is in Tune With My Voice As if it is The Only One
Voices, voices, voices everywhere. News reports, Facebook feeds, tweets, and any other variety of media seem to be winning the day. Even if they tend to differ in opinion or viewpoint they are coming in loud and in surround sound. I find myself trying to avoid all of it, but then wanting to listen because I have a stake in every bit of the headlines facing our culture. But where can my voice have a platform? Where can the things that matter to me and most importantly the truth of God’s Word find a way to be heard?

This was a question that came out of my frustration for our current climate. Discouraged and disenfranchised, I found myself clouded by a sense of hopelessness. As I took my evening walk, I was contemplating many different solutions to my dilemma when a verse that came across my audio Bible app shed some light on my darkened perspective.
