Girls! We’ve got the Holy Spirit! There is no better coach anywhere! To hold our hand as we dig into God’s Word. I get that many of us, myself included, don’t feel smart enough. What is holding us back from picking up the Bible and studying it? Ya’all – the Bible is filled with stories put there by God Himself to illustrate Truths in His Word.ĭoes this strike anyone else as kind of odd? While personal anecdotes from an author can at times be helpful, I’m kind of burnt out on them… anybody else? I find I’m wanting more meat – aka actual scripture verses – than a lot of book studies contain. I’m armed with some good Bible study resources and the Holy Spirit, but please don’t ask me to explain a passage of scripture to you without some serious prep time. I’ve tried to read the Bible all the way through, but have yet to do so. I can’t even recall if I took a class on the Bible in college.
There are a lot of life-changing great Bible study books out there.īut after spending almost the last 3 years (and 2 summers) working through book after book (albeit at 2 different churches) and listening to other authors share what THEY think a verse or section of scripture means, I’m kind of (okay a lot) tired of listening to other famous people’s opinions about the Bible.īefore you begin to think I’m a know-it-all, I’m not.
I’ve shared about several of the book studies we’ve used. Like many of you, our women’s ministry holds weekly Bible study meetings one morning most weeks.įor the past several years we’ve used Bible study books as our curriculum. I’ve come face to face with the fact that I’m tired of Bible study books…
For the past several months God has been increasing my discomfort with the Bible “studies” we’ve been doing at our church.
