Weekly Bible Study

  

 
Solitude is the practice of our "waiting for God" to act and complete His will, so our focus is on Him and then He fills us. This is an aspect of private prayer and worship, but instead of doing the talking we cling to Christ in silence and do the listening. This means we still ourselves to hear what God has to say. This is about our willingness to be examined by God, to hear His voice and see His call because we have moved anything that is in the way of Him.

Monthly Bible Study Article
Do you read from the Bible or read into the Bible? Do you know the difference?
What does Biblical interpretation mean to you? What should it mean and how should you delve into and teach the most Holy Precepts of our LORD? By your will or His?
We have a major problem in our churches; people, even pastors go to the Bible and just collect from it what they feel and want, forcing it so that they miss receiving what they need and what God has for all of us. Thus, people are not experiencing the true wonders and Truth and riches of God's principles and the result is little to no spiritual growth or maturity. We have even a bigger problem of pastors and so called Christian leaders who teach falsely or shoddily because they use the Bible as a tired and old buffet, picking only what they see as good-not realizing it is all good. Thus, they glean items they like out of context, reading in their ideas and then claiming them as goodness from God. The result? Feeding their flock moldy garbage and proclaiming it as delightful food. Since most Christians are biblically illiterate, they will not know the difference. Reading into the Bible and not reading from the Bible is called eisegesis, and it is evil!
Do not allow anything or anyone to come between you and Christ!

Church Leadership and Prayer Tip of the Week

Ideas to consider: (Romans 12:18 ; 14:18 -19; Ephesians 4:3; Hebrews 12:14 )

The Bible must be taught in such a way that it is real and can be applied to the lives and situations of the people. You are to equip and disciple people, not just in the basics of the faith, but also in how to be Christians in their families, work, and relationships. They must be taught how to be effective Christians, and how to live their lives to His glory! (Psalm 119:9-12)
 
Pray that all of the leadership exhibit good Christian character and integrity with all of their relationships and dealings in life (Micah 6:8).
 

There is no question - we are serving our Lord Jesus Christ because of your prayers, support and partnership, Thank-You!
