Welcome to a study in the book of Ephesians!

I'm so glad you decided to join me! God's Word is life to us! It is our instruction manuel for life. The Bible contains the "ABC's"of Christian living. Many times we struggle and struggle to live a godly life. God doesn't want you to struggle, but He does require us to "work out our salvation with fear and trembling". That just means work out that walk with Him individually. Figure out what to do and then do it! He has given you the answers in His book of books - the Bible! Let's discover what it is saying to you. Let the Holy Spirit teach you! By the way, you must be born again to understand this book.
How do you get "born again"? In John 3, Jesus says you must be born of the Spirit. That means your Spirit needs to be revived, brought to life. Only Jesus can do that!Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life". As a matter of fact, He also said that there was one way to the Father. That way was through Him. He wasn't just a prophet or good man. He is the Son of God. God created you. God loves you. God wants you to have a relationship with Him. How? One way. Believe. Believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Believe that He died on the cross to delete your sin and get you to a place where you can know God here on earth and see Him face to face when you die. That's it. Do it today!

Oh yes. Please comment on the posts! I would love to hear what God has revealed to you about Genesis! Let the journey begin!

Left Turn

Little left turn here. As I am spending this time in Galatians, I wonder how time is spent. When was the last time you picked up your Bible and instead of flipping through it looking for a scripture to get you through the day, you opened it searching out the truths of His Word....just because. Is it your quick fix or your daily bread? Have we learned to love the Word for the Word's sake? Or are we constantly needing assurance of our salvation, or of God's protection, or His provision? I challenge you to begin approaching God's Word in a new way. Get a notebook, get a concordance and your Bible, of course, and dig in. Find a subject that has nothing to do with a need you have. You will be amazed that the journey will open up new revelations God is just waiting to show you. It will be something He wants to show you. Something not all about you, but all about Him. You will feel closer to Him. He loves to sit with you and reveal His Word to you! I'm inspired by Paul's single purpose and sense of urgency in fulfilling his call. Okay, I'll continue and try not to take a left turn again. Well, can't promise that for sure!
