LADIES BIBLE STUDY DINNER PART 2!

Strawberry pretzel salad is in the fridge.  Soup is the crockpot, and bread bowls are bought!  We are ready to EAT!  (Not to mention all the other goodies coming!) I am so excited for tonight!!

My prayer is that we are not only ready to eat PHYSICALLY, but more importantly, SPIRITUALLY tonight, and as we begin a new year!

The second part of what we will discuss tonight is from:

2 Timothy 3:14-17

But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

We need to be equipped!  Here are just a few thoughts:

• The average “Christian” spends less than 3 minutes per day in the Word of God. Think of how much time you spend filling your mind with other outside influences: TV, books, radio, even advertising!  Now compare that to the average time in the Word -- our One source of truth!



• Statistics show you will walk away from a Sunday morning sermon with maximum 10% of what he said. Imagine what you would look like if you were fed one meal on Sunday, and you only ate 10% of what was there and had nothing else, or very little to eat the rest of the week. You’d be a walking skeleton – very weak, and you would die within a few months.


• Put this into spiritual perspective. How are we surviving on what food we are feeding ourselves?


We see in Genesis 2:7 where God breathed into our physical bodies to give us life. We see here in 2 Timothy where God has breathed into the Scriptures through inspiration, literally, He breathed OUT! It is the source of our SPIRITUAL life! Without God’s physical breath, we would die. Without His spiritual breath, we will die spiritually. We daily need spiritual breath from Him, or we will suffocate!

So, GO EAT, and have a blessed day!  :)
