In my last post I shared a post about my very first workshop! This workshop goes through the Sermon on the Mount with Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones and his book Studies in the Sermon on the Mount. In that post I pointed out that the best way to learn from this book is to interact with…
This is a question I get so many times, from so many women. If you’re reading this blog, you are probably a woman serious about her spiritual life, and discouraged about it at times too. Maybe you’ve tried many different video driven, fill-in-the-blank Bible studies. And they’re good at the moment, but when it’s over…
Last time I told you about how I study a book of the Bible I’m going to write a Journal and Doodle Study on (you can see the first part here). I don’t have a step-by-step process, but rather a plan to go as slow as I possibly can. That’s 100% my plan and goal….
One of the biggest questions I get from others is: “How do you get insights and real application out of the Bible?” I remember when I was younger and the boys were little and my life was hectic, that I KNEW the Bible had the answers, but HOW did I get to them? I could…
One of the main questions people ask me is how I, personally, study the Bible. That’s a big question to answer because about every year I switch it up. Last year I read through the Bible along with my husband using the excellent 5 Day Bible Reading plan. I enjoyed it and that was actually…
A little background to this post: I see what is going on in the world, all around the world, and even here right at home, and honestly, I’m scared. Most of us are. We might be fearful of COVID, or wary of the vaccine, angry at people in power, irritated with our neighbors, friends, or…
Since we are living in a very confusing time in history, and since there’s been a huge increase in people suffering from depression and even suicide, I’m listening to a series of sermons given back in the 1950s by one of my favorite preachers of all time, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones. Dr. Lloyd-Jones was born in…
UPDATE 4 YEARS LATER: I still have my gospel notebook, and from time to time I add to it. (Especially when I am reading through an epistle!) I use it many different ways: When I need encouragement, I read through the “I am” or the “Christ did” sections. When I am in a rut in…
UPDATE 6 YEARS LATER: It was fun looking through Rachel’s journal again and seeing what she gained from her time working through the Journal and Doodle through Ephesians Bible study! Her story echoes what my prayer for this blog is, that God’s daughters will hear from Him and internalize His truths into their lives! To…
UPDATE 9 YEARS LATER: I started this Bible project on May 3, 2012 and finished summarizing every page on March 25, 2015. There were no great speed records set, I mean it took me three years to read through the entire Bible! But I discovered that reading at a slow pace, and thinking about what…
