As I work on today’s study, Paul is talking about all that has deserted him.   He calls it heartbreaking.   Beth also  talks of holding grudges. When someone has wronged you, or they have left the ministry but later comes back.  When they come back are we able to welcome them back? Or do…

This morning as I start my Bible Study Beth starts off with talking about her mentor. That completely brought the tears.  I have been trying SO hard to have joy and not to be so sad.   I am choosing to press on.   The scripture today is 2 Timothy 4:7 “I have fought the…

In preparation for the study this fall, Entrusted, I am starting the 5th week and last week.  Paul is passing the mantel to Timothy.  He talks of two judgments to come. One is Romans 5:9 “All who trust in Jesus are justified by His blood and saved from the wrath to come.”.  I am so…

The verse today is 2 Timothy 2:19 “Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, having this inscription: The Lord knows those who are His, and Everyone who names the name of the Lord must turn away from unrighteousness.”  That is just packed with truth.  How can anyone really say that they are saved if they are…
