Watered Women of the Word

MARIA CURREY | CONTRIBUTOR When the skies begin to rumble and dark clouds tumble, folks in the South know they should either take cover or get ready to jump in big puddles! There is nothing quite like God’s glory roaring from thunderclouds. Deluges from the sky bring beautifully abundant garden beds filled with new life exploding with color. As rainwater replenishes gardens, we see the whole garden grow and each drop of rain is needed to bring forth the harvest. So it is with the Body of Christ. As we drink in Christ’s living water, it soaks into our hearts and replenishes us with His soul quenching love. Drop by Drop Over the course of a fruitful season in the Word, I had the privilege to watch one woman water the seeds of faith in two precious beloveds, drop by drop of kindness, care, attentiveness, and love. They both came to our weekly Bible study, having been uprooted from what they knew before. One, a recent immigrant from a country overrun by economic turmoil, she and her family came to find a more sustainable life. Another, a single mother, raised in rich spiritual soil, nonetheless experienced heartache and hardship along her path. Both were nurtured under the inviting shepherd-hearted leadership of a woman who understands what it means to provide a constant overflow of encouragement, lovingkindness, accountability, and reinforcement to remain deeply rooted to the taproot of Jesus love. Their hearts reflect connections which are constantly renewed while walking a relationally driven and Word-based lifeline together....

Dressing for Bible Study

KENDRA KAMMER|GUEST In Colorado where I live, we aren’t known for our fashion sense. Recently I received a wedding invitation, and the dress code was “Mountain Formal.” (I know you’re curious: the ladies wore sundresses and cowboy boots, and the men wore jeans and bolo ties.) I’ve even learned how to pre-load my wardrobe into ChatGPT so it can tell me what to wear to any given event and take that mental load off myself! Thankfully, when it comes to Bible study, God has already told us what to wear: “Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other. …And above all these put on love” (Col. 3:12-14). Wear What Fits Colossians 3 tells us what to “wear”: compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, patience, forgiveness, and love. These qualities remind us that Scripture is learned best within loving Christian community. As we study God's Word together, these qualities should shape the way we treat one another....

Weakness as Warfare Strategy

CHRISTINE GORDON | CONTRIBUTOR Unless you or someone close to you has a military background, warfare strategy isn’t something you probably think about much. But as believers, we are in a thousands-year-long conflict with the world, the flesh, and the devil. In 2 Corinthians 10, we read a snippet about that war. A Plan for Battle Some of Paul’s friends had been taken captive in the city of Corinth, and his strategy for freeing them included the ancient practice of siege warfare. His battle plan included three distinct steps: First, demolish the fortified military stronghold. Second, take all enemies captive. Finally, punish any remaining resistance. Any citizen in first century Corinth would have been aware of such battle tactics, and all would have understood that the resisters in the city would eventually lose against the invading commander.  Don’t remember this part of 2 Corinthians? Perhaps a clue will help: Paul’s battle was not conducted with maps and guns but with the power of God. He and his fellow soldiers were waging war in the spiritual world with a different kind of munition...

Asking Better Questions of Your Bible

HANNAH HAGARTY | GUEST In the life of a believer, “What should I read today?” is a common question when it comes to Scripture. Often, we answer that question based on feelings. What do we feel like reading? What do we feel applies to the situation we are walking through? Feelings are real, necessary, and Scripture addresses them, but there is a better way to begin. Because, inevitably, the day will come when we don’t feel like reading. If feelings are the motivating metric, we won’t. A better approach to reading and studying Scripture is to begin with Spirit-led understanding by asking good questions of the text. Many Christians have been taught that the first question in response to reading Scripture is, “what does this mean to me?” But when application comes before understanding, we risk trading Scripture’s richness for whatever feels relevant at the moment.  Asking Questions Whether we are children learning about our world or an adult learning a new skill, the means of understanding come through the same route: asking questions. This is why Bible study books often include a few questions at the end of each chapter. It is not enough just to read the Bible; we need to meditate or think about the text in order to absorb it. Questions bring us to this beneficial, deeper reflection....
