I so appreciate how you laid this out. I praise God for the work that He is doing in you and know that this book will bring Him much glory. How can it not? Obtaining an understanding of how God's word is laid out is such an incrediable help when it comes to the application part that all of us need so much to take part in. Such an encouragment and an example of how we can help others. Saved 40 years and what you are teaching is truly helping me appreciate God and hopefully produce more fruit for His glory
This was great. Simple concise conviction from the word of God. So many methods and distractions out there. The reading of this newsletter helped me reset. I pray that my life would be more in line with the calling of God each and everyday.
I am so thankful for what the Lord is doing in you. These Newsletters have been a blessing and today's was especially impactful. Oh that we all may wake up and realize what we have, what we have been called to and to truly cherish the relationship with God, rather than the things of this world!
Thanks for the work that you are doing. I am excited about joining in on the cohort sessions next week. Praying for you!
Digging In
I was reading through a section in 2 Samuel and remembered Steve’s advice about praying and going slowly, truly digging in when you don’t understand something in the Bible. So I kept re-reading it and the chapters around it. Then God helped me understand it better! Hooray!
I’m excited to catch up on the newsletters too.
Amazing things can happen when we slow down and reread! I find myself asking, wait what did he just say more than I care to admit 🙂 I’m so glad you saw God’s hand in your persistence 🙌🏻
Love this Jessica. Remembering what Jesus did, does and wants to do is a great way to walk through each day as we are conformed to His image 🙌🏻 Thanks for sharing your thoughts here
Book read
I have been saved for multiple decades now. I was very fortunate to be invited, encouraged, and discipled by men that loved God and were faithful examples in establishing a good foundation for me in my early years. By the grace of God I have stayed in church and in my bible. The truth is that I have often found myself going through the motions, staying too long in a dry spell. Reading this book was a great experience, much like what had happened in my early days of discipleship. Each chapter seemed to provide needful reminders of what we have in possessing God's word. What was a very unexpected result was when applying the suggested work at the end of the chapters. I did not want another thing on my overflowing plate. I reluctantly, maybe even half-heartedly did what was suggested. That seemed to be the catalyst for awaking me spiritually. Thank you for the work that was done in bringing this book to us. It is undoubtedly being used to bring many of us closer to Jesus!
Thank you Jim. It’s gratifying to hear how the book impacted you and others who’ve read it. I cannot wait for the book to release and touch the lives and reading routines of more believers. 😊🫶🏻
Growing up
Thank you! I didn't have Godly help to help me grow up in a Godly way! I lived in an ungodly world/family if you will! BUT, I now am surrounded with Godly, brothers and sisters, Pastors,Teachers and friends that I can run to if I need a boost of any kind! I'm very grateful for all and now I can reach out and lift up, give a hand, a smile or just an ear to help someone else! Thank you Jesus for all those you have put in my path, in my life!
Luv you all!
Sheryl
Thanks for the encouragement Sheryl. I love that you’re surrounded by believers. You’re a blessing and our love to you as well!
Thank you!!!!
I am so tremendously encouraged by the work that you are doing through BibleViews2Use and now the book you are writting. I have been saved for decades now and have been faithful in staying in the scriptures, however more often than not, I find myself spiritualy dry. What you have touched on in your book has genuinaly caused me to stop and consider some things I know, and believe, yet too often have let get put aside. Somewhat grudglingly or out of obligation, I did the "work/exercises" that you encouraged at the end of the chapters. It was not long and I felt a personal revival.
Thank you Jim. You and so many others like you are the reason for the book and this newsletter. You’ve really encouraged me; I’m grateful 😊👊🏻
