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.

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.

Are you facing a problem in life that you just can’t fix, no matter what you do? Perhaps you’ve heard the phrase “Let go and let God.” But it’s easier said than done. Is it possible that giving up on what you can’t change is God’s path to peace for your life? In Surrendered, Barb Roose’s new six-week Bible study of Jesus in the wilderness, she explores Jesus’ time of testing and contrasts it with the Israelites’ failures in the wilderness.
 
As readers learn from Jesus’ example, they’ll discover six principles that will equip them to let God lead them to victory despite their circumstances as they deal with the problems and pain they are facing.

Whether you’re a dramatic Disney villain ranting about insufferable princesses or a stressed-out mom picking up after your cyclone of children passing through the house, you’ve probably been caught talking to yourself at least once in your life. The truth is, we all find the idea of talking to ourselves rather funny. We have pictures in our minds of those people that usually take the form of absent-minded scientists or psychotic mental patients. Either way, they’re slightly insane.

This year, I am reading through the Bible in chronological order of book authorship. This is different from reading the Bible in chronological order. That's a great way to read God's Word as well, but when I've done that in the past I find myself skipping all over the Bible at some points and it's easy for me to get distracted.

Reading through the Bible in chronological order of book authorship simply goes book by book in the order that they were written. Plans may vary as it is difficult to accurately date the writing of some books of the Bible. 

Somewhere between “Jesus Loves Me” and high school cynicism, the childlike acceptance of pat answers about faith is lost—often forever. While many parents find this transitional period daunting, they don’t want their kids to leave the Christian faith just because they didn’t get good answers to how prayer works or whether dinosaurs were on Noah’s ark.
 
Honest Answers: Exploring God Questions with Your Tween by Janelle Alberts and Ingrid Faro is designed to help parents tackle the God questions that make them sweat. The authors know that when tweens start asking questions, they’re already old enough to understand the answers. Alberts and Faro are determined to equip parents with the language, theology, and confidence to join in the discussion—and to learn how to offer deeply doctrinal answers in a way that connects with their children.

You had it all planned out. You were doing your research and fine-tuning your resumé. You were preparing for the future: graduation in May, summer internship that would go through August, saying “yes” to the dream job where you knew you could make the most impact, earn some money, get married, buy a dog, raise a family, change the world, die peacefully in your late 90s while holding hands with your great-grandchildren.

You know, normal life planning stuff. But then…
