Context is everything! Even a blog post taken out of context can miscommunicate. As a blogger, I understand the difficult task that an author, bible teacher, or pastor has when attempting to concisely present truth. Because of this, I generally read authors rather than books. I follow teachers rather than bible studies. I sit under a pastor weekly, and don’t typically listen to […]

    Recently my friend and I were chatting about God’s grace in our lives. We determined that we are guilty. We fall short of God’s glory every day. Even when it’s not intentional sin, often my heart reeks of self pity, pride, unforgiveness and the like. So as a great sinner myself, am I […]

My soul is being continually renewed and refreshed as I study the life of Paul. I am well aware that in many Christian circles, Paul is a controversial biblical character. So to clarify, I begin by saying that I presuppose that “every scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, […]

Goodbyes are just going to be a BIG part of our lives. So I’m thankful that as we experience them, I can rest and find grace in the God of Gideon. “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, being convinced of what we do not see. For by it the people of […]

Hallelujah!! what a Savior! . . . He sprouted up like a twig before God, like a root out of parched soil; He had no stately form or majesty that might catch our attention, no special appearance that we should want to follow Him.He was despised and rejected by people, people hid their faces from […]

What if I awoke every day with more expectancy. . . because He loves me and gave Himself for me? What if I obeyed Him with more joy  . . . because He loves me and gave Himself for me? What if I loved others with more compassion . . . because He loves me and gave Himself for […]

The Bible series (on television) concludes next Sunday night – on Easter. I have been able to watch some of it and my prayer is that people will be drawn to reading the Bible and will find Jesus. He is certainly all through the pages of the OT and the NT. I have no idea […]

In the web world, there is phrase used in business called “In-Context Messaging.” It’s used for customer communication in a website. Although I don’t grasp everything about it, I like the phrase. I think it’s very applicable to Bible study. We need to understand that the Bible message should be read, studied and memorized in context. […]

The Bible …My Papa King studied it and preached it. So does my Daddy. And my hubby does, too. They all went to school and learned from wonderful seminary professor who not only had insight into the original words, but had a love for the Bible as the authority in their lives. Thankfully, these teachers imparted […]

“The Bible” is a new docudrama on the History Channel featuring stories from the Bible covering Genesis to Revelation. I am not using this blog to criticize the series. In fact, that is not what these posts will be about that at all. But the series and the blogs/tweets/posts that have surrounded it did spur on some recent personal reflection about what […]
