God Is Able by Priscilla Shirer – A Book Review
Today’s Verse of the Day post on my Facebook Page: This quote is Ephesians 3:20-21 (NASB). This Scripture is beautiful. It speaks to the power of God and reminded me of just how great that power is. I became particularly cognizant of this Scripture two and a half years ago, while I was reading Priscilla Shirer’s book God Is Able during a very stressful and painful time in the lives of my family. My sister-in-law, Cathleen, was battling cancer. I was helping out by taking her to her doctor appointments and chemo treatments. So I actually was seeing and talking with her more…

A Highway of Holiness – What is it?
Isaiah 35:8 speaks of a Highway of Holiness On July 8 my devotional, Experiencing God Day-by-Day, took me to Isaiah 35:8 and that verse has remained on my heart for the last couple of weeks. You always have to read the Scripture in context to really understand the message. Let me quote Isaiah 35:1-10 (NASB) to present this verse in context. The subject is Zion’s Happy Future. ‘1The wilderness and the desert will be glad, And the Arabah will rejoice and blossom; Like the crocus 2 It will blossom profusely And rejoice with rejoicing and shout of joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, The majesty of Carmel and…

What the Apostles’ Creed Teaches
What is the Apostles’ Creed? The Apostles’ Creed is the oldest creed of the Christian church. It was not written by the Apostles. It is the basis for other creeds that followed. The most common form is: 1) I Believe In In its oldest form it goes back to at least 140 A.D. The church leaders wrote this summary of their beliefs as they had the need to stand for what they believed. It is not Scripture but is a simple list of the doctrines of the beliefs of the Christian faith and the Apostles’ teachings. 2) God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth This statement clearly states that the Christian…

Bible Study Methods Courses – A Great Way to learn to study the Bible
Bible Study Methods Courses Back in early 2006, my husband and I, found that we really wanted to delve deeper into the Word, and realized when we saw a sign promoting a Bible Study Methods class from the College of Biblical Studies that was being held at our church, that we wanted to check it out. The College of Biblical Studies offered this class FREE so why not, right? Just one night per week for 8 weeks. So we did it! The instructor of the course, Dr. William Boyd, was amazing. He obviously had been a student of the Word for many years and was well versed in all the terminology/methods taught…
