Bible Studies
For the past year the Lord has been having me write chronological studies of books of the New Testament. And I have been keeping those in collections on my computer by books of the Bible. My husband has encouraged me to create a new category and subcategories for those who might want to read these particular studies by book. Each one is from my personal devotions and they may not cover every verse or every chapter, and they might be in reverse order by chapter since that is the order in which they were posted, i.e. the last will appear first. This is a work in progress, so this may take me a while to recategorize and retag each post. I hope and pray this is beneficial to you.

The Two, One Flesh
“Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!

Do You Not Know?
Some of the professers of faith in Jesus Christ were taking one another to court with lawsuits against one another, and they were wronging and defrauding their professed brothers and sisters in the Lord Jesus. And so Paul was confronting them on these issues. And then he said to them: “Or do you not know … Continue reading Do You Not Know?
