Dwelling in the Word and letting the Word dwell in us richly is different than reading the Bible or reading a devotional with Bible passages. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly and return the favor by dwelling in the Word - not "doing" Bible study, not simply reading - but moving into the Word with heart, soul, mind, and strength. It's being intentional in making a shift from treating the Word of God like a self-help book to letting it dwell in us as the living Word of God that it is.

John 8:12-30 || The Light of the World

After Jesus says, “I am the light of the world,” the Pharisees ask for witness testimony to back up his claim. Jesus responds using Pharisaic witness testimony protocols: “In your own Law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is true. I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me.” When the Pharisees fail to understand, Jesus tells them they will know who He and His Father are after they see Him lifted on the cross.

1 John 4:7-21 || Ep. 915 - How NOT to Use the Bible

“Love is love.” Is it though? Is that what God’s word says? It’s June and in the U.S. that means “pride month” where the “Love is love” mantra is celebrated and pressed upon us and while it might seem and feel a simple enough idea, for those of us who want to honor and love God’s Word and not use it to fit our personal ideas we should be careful not to just accept a motto without weighing it against God’s holy Word.
Dwelling in the Word and letting the Word dwell in us richly is different than reading the Bible or reading a devotional with Bible passages. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly and return the favor by dwelling in the Word - not "doing" Bible study, not simply reading - but moving into the Word with heart, soul, mind, and strength. It's being intentional in making a shift from treating the Word of God like a self-help book to letting it dwell in us as the living Word of God that it is.

1 John 3:11-24 || Ep. 913 - Dwelling in the Word

🌟 You know, sometimes as Christians, we might overlook the simplest yet most profound practices. Today, we’re diving into the importance of letting the word of Christ dwell in us richly and returning the favor by dwelling in His word. But here’s the twist—this isn’t just about Bible study; it’s about loving the Word with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. 💖
And you know what? There’s one essential step that often goes unsaid: prayer. Yes, prayer before you dive into the Scriptures. It’s about opening your heart to the Holy Spirit and committing your time to the Lord. Imagine it as a warm greeting before a deep conversation. 🙏
In this episode, I share a personal story about how I almost missed this step today. It’s like walking up to someone and jumping into a conversation without saying hello! So, let’s be intentional. Before your fingers touch the pages of your Bible, pause, fold your hands, and pray. Let’s invite the Holy Spirit to guide us, teach us, and reveal God’s heart to us. 🌿
Join me as we explore 1 John 3:11-24 together. Let the Word wash over you, invest in you, and transform you. And hey, don’t forget to pray before and after your study. It makes all the difference. 💫
I love hearing from you, so leave a comment or drop me an email with your thoughts and questions.  💌
