Every small bit of help, helps us serve our Lord! 1978-2008+, Over Thirty Years of Ministry, Praise God! Into Thy Word Ministries Family of Websites Blogs Help us help them, help us help you! | Weekly Bible Study Repentance is both a "summons" to seek Him first and a "summery" of the Gospel's impact and "regeneration" upon us so we make a life change in Christ. The discipline aspect of repentance is the result and application (not the cause) of the fruit from our salvation and renewal that we do our part with and by our faith. Monthly Bible Study Article The Role, Person, and Work of the Holy Spirit! The essential topic of who and what the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost is, His power, impact, and role in the universe and in our lives, along with why we need to know this has been a hot and abused subject matter during the last several decades. The third Person of the Godhead, the Trinity, has been ignored by some and overly abused and misunderstood by most. Monthly Leadership Article A healthy church is one who is poured out to our Lord. Who practices the love of our Lord through worship, teaching, learning, loving, caring, praying, and outreach. A church that chooses to be a bag of marbles, all with different colors and sizes all working together. Each marble seizing its call and exercising its gift for the game.

To view entire chart: Weekly Bible Reading Chart More Bible Reading Plans Church Leadership and Prayer Tip of the Week A church must disciple, and small groups are the best means to do this. Arrange, train, and lead your small group leaders to teach the Bible clearly, going beyond just discussing passages to applying it to their daily lives. Make sure these groups focus on prayer, allowing healthy interaction, so people feel free to express issues, ask questions, and discuss the concerns of life, as the leadership encourages as well as teaches. (Psalm 119:9-12; Ecclesiastes 4:8-10; Matthew 6:33-34; 28:18-20) Pray that your Church and Pastor have and continue to take hold of a growing, consistent walk with Christ with a devotional and prayer life that is steadfast. Pray that they realize and allow Christ to work and use them as they grow closer in their faith, spiritual formation, maturity, and love (Psalm 16:8-11; 73:28; Rom. 8:31; 2 Pet. 1:5-7).
