Literary Devices
“Indeed, my plans are not like your plans, and my deeds are not like your deeds, for just as the sky is higher than the earth, so my deeds are superior to your deeds and my plans superior to your plans. The rain and snow fall from the sky and do not return, but...
The Law of the Lord is Perfect

Created by Him
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation, for all things in heaven and on earth were created by him—all things, whether visible or invisible, whether thrones or dominions, whether principalities or powers—all things were created through...
What Do I See?
As we continue our discussion of how to study Scripture, we’re going to look at methods of observation. Observation is a critical aspect of Bible study. It not only forces us to look at the text carefully, but it helps us slow down and examine what is happening in the...
What’s that Genre?
What’s your favorite type of book to read? Do you love fiction novels, or do you prefer a memoir? Or what about film? Would you rather watch a romantic comedy or a nature documentary? In the same way we approach varying genres of books or movies differently, the way...

From Kazakhstan to Poland- One Woman’s Journey
I was born in Kazakhstan to a nominal Muslim family, where we did not talk about faith or how God works in our lives. I learned that the source of wisdom and guidance is a legacy of our past, handed down from generation to generation. I eventually left my home country...

Draw Near Introduction
“Draw near to God and he will draw near to you.” What a promise! Not only does God promise to reveal Himself to us when we seek Him, but He also promises to move toward us and pursue us. For the next six weeks, our goal is to do precisely that: draw near to God. Not...

Behold, Your God
The history of the Jews was full of oppression and difficulty. Since the destruction of Jerusalem and the exile in Babylon about five centuries earlier, the Jews had faced serious turmoil under many different rules and governments. It’s no wonder the Jews believed...
Suffering For Our Faith
A woman once said, “I love my suffering because it comes from God.” Can you say this? Do you love your suffering because it comes from God? I know I don’t. Suffering is hard and it hurts. It is Isolating and discouraging, but it is also something that ties all humans...

Faithful To The End
The beatitudes end with the promised blessing of persecution. After studying the many ways that believers are blessed by God, we might expect to end on something more positive and hopeful. However, I think it is fitting that persecution would be the likely result for...
Peace Not of This World
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” - John 14:27 The car door had barely closed behind me before uncontrollable tears began to stream down my face. If I...

Seek Peace
This week we’re studying what it means to be a peacemaker. Psalm 34 gives us specific instruction to seek and pursue peace. Psalm 34 is categorized as a psalm of praise. David (the author of Psalm 34) praised God for His greatness. He remembered how God answered him...
Blessed Are the Peacemakers
I turned around to face the sink as my husband brushed by me into the garage. I wanted to discuss when we would sit down for dinner, but he was busy working on a project. His curt response cut me to the quick. “Don’t worry about me. I’ll fend for myself this week,” he...
The Lord Looks on the Heart
But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees; man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 Sometimes I wonder how many...
