                    O bedient to biblical Truth

                    T eachable

  • Be committed.
  • Confidentiality is crucial.
  • Discussion based on scripture not opinion.
  • Beware of the tongue.  Proverbs 12:18 on page 1034 in The New Inductive Study Bible.

How will Book Club Bible Study equip me to effectively study and understand the Bible?  Follow this pattern for daily Bible study and group Bible study.

    • Open in Prayer – Ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand and apply what you read and study.  John 14:26 on page 1743 in the New Inductive Study Bible.
    • Read Scripture – “All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 on page 1961-1962 in The New Inductive Study Bible
    • Interact with Scripture – Look for repeated words and phrases.  Make a list.  Ask who, what, where, when, why and how?  Use scripture cross references and allow scripture to interpret scripture.  Use a concordance, dictionary or lexicon to define unfamiliar words.  Consult a reputable commentary after all personal study has been completed.  Above all, keep everything in context.  “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.”  2 Timothy 2:15 on page 1960 in The New Inductive Study Bible.
    • Close in Prayer – Give thanks and rejoice in the Lord.  Ask God in prayer to help you think biblically (see Philippians 4:8) and practice right living (see Philippians 4:4-9).

Things to know before you get started:

  1. The books of the Bible are not chronological.
  • Genesis – Deuteronomy = Pentateuch – Greek word meaning a 5 fold book.  Also, referred to as the Torah in Judaism.  The general consensus is that these books were written by Moses.
  • Joshua – Esther = 12 historical books – The history of the nation of Israel from the death of Moses to the restoration of the nation after Babylonian captivity.
  • Job – Song of Solomon = Poetry and wisdom books.  Wisdom versus folly.
  • Isaiah – Malachi = 17 books of prophecy.
  • Matthew – John = Biographical books of the life of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
  • Acts = Historical book of the acts of the apostles.  The beginning of the church.
  • Romans – Jude = Epistles or letters – Letters written to the churches or individual christians.
  • Revelation = Prophetic revelation of the destiny of the church.  Also, referred to as the apocalypse or revelation.

       2.  Read “Understand the Value of God’s Word” on pages 2083-2086 in The New Inductive Study Bible.  It provides the background on the Bible.

       3.  Read “Major Events in Israel’s History” on pages 2087-2098 in The New Inductive Study Bible.  See the “big picture” of the nation of Israel and its significance to biblical history and modern-day world events.

      4.  Familiarize yourself with the timeline located on pages NISB-42 – NISB-48 in The New Inductive Study Bible.  The timeline provides historical context for each book of the Bible, the nations, and the leaders mentioned in the Bible.

     5.  http://www.biblestudytools.com is an excellent online resource for the Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance and the Matthew Henry Commentary on the Whole Bible.

Armed & Dangerous 4 the One True King – Week 1

Book Club Bible Studies are designed to equip you to effectively study the Bible for yourself.  Begin with a
brief review of the blog post Book Club Bible Study Starts Here.  It provides the “big picture” for effective Bible study.

Locate the timeline on page NISB-42 of The New Inductive Study Bible. The nation of Israel can trace its ancestry back to Adam.  Begin with Adam and follow the line over to Judges.  The season of the judges, over the nation of Israel, spanned 300 years.   Judges begins with a generation that did not know war, nor did they know the works of the Lord firsthand.  The book of Judges sets the stage for 1 Samuel.

  1. Read Judges 1:27-33 on page 399-400 in The New Inductive Study Bible.
  • God had instructed the tribes of Israel to drive out the inhabitants of the land of Canaan.
  • What did the tribes do with the inhabitants of the land according to verses 27-33?

 

2.  An angel of the Lord speaks to the people at Bochim.  Read Judges 2:1-3 on page 400 in The New Inductive Study Bible.

What is God’s promise? * ___________________________________________________

What is God’s command?  __________________________________________________

How had the tribes of Israel responded?  ______________________________________

What were the consequences? ______________________________________________

*See scripture cross reference Genesis 17: 7-8 for covenant in Judges 2:1 on page 26 in The New Inductive Study Bible.

 

3.  Read Judges 2:16-3:6 on page 401 in The New Inductive Study Bible.  Mark judge(s) with a “J.”

  • What do you learn about the judges, the people & the Lord?

 

4.  Read and highlight Judges 17:6 on page 427 in The New Inductive Study Bible;  Judges 18:1 on page 428; Judges 19:1 on page 430 and Judges 21:25 on page 436.

  • What is the weakness that kept Israel defeated and ineffective?
  • How are the days of the judges similar to today in America and in the world?

 

5.  There is hope.  Read the opening of 1 Samuel on page 446 in The New Inductive Study Bible.

 

Things to do before next week’s group discussion on page 446 in The New Inductive Study Bible.

Priority for 2011… Do whatever it takes to BE READY! (Part 2) Luke 16-18 January 11, 2011

Change requires adjustments…

                Change can be awkward and uncomfortable…

                                Opposition arises…

                                                Will you quit?

 

                                                                Will you do whatever it takes to BE READY?

As Jesus approached the end of His life, He was purposeful to prepare His followers for the changes that lay ahead.  Review the chart “Life of Christ Showing Coverage by Luke” on page 1710 of “The New Inductive Study Bible.”  Over a brief three year span notice how Jesus has transitioned from obscurity to popularity to increasing opposition.

This week we will see how Jesus continues to offer instruction, correction and encouragement to his followers.

 

Things to Do this Week

Read Luke chapters 16-18 on pages 1688-1694 in “The New Inductive Study Bible.” (Or use the Bible of your choice.)

Make an effort to read and interact with a portion of Luke each day.

  • An easy way to read Luke is one event at a time.  List each main event in the margin of your Bible for easy reference.  Mark every reference to time with a circle. Underline geographic locations.
  • Record your answers to the questions below in a notebook or journal.
  • Consider adopting this pattern for your personal Bible study time each day.
  1. Pray –  John 14:26  Ask the Helper, the Holy Spirit to teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance what you read and study.
  2. Read Scripture – 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Why?  All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness; so the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
  3. Interact with Scripture – 2 Timothy 2:15 Why?  So you will not be ashamed and you will be able to accurately handle the word of truth and apply it to your life effectively.  Interaction with scripture includes:  keeping everything in context; marking repeated words & references to time; asking questions… who, what, where, when, why & how; using scripture cross references to allow scripture to interpret scripture; word studies (dictionary, lexicon, concordance)
  4. Pray – Philippians 4:4-9 Thank God for what you learn.  Ask God to help you PRACTICE what you learn.  Ask God to help you THINK correct thoughts based on what you learn.

 

Main Events – Luke 16-18

  • Read 16:1-12  Who is Jesus speaking to in verse 1?  When the manager was confronted by his boss about the mismanagement of his possessions, how did the manager respond?  Why did the manager respond by collecting only part of what was owed to his boss?  Verses 8-9 can be confusing so it is helpful to consult a reputable commentary.  An excerpt from Matthew Henry Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise) is copied below.  The link is also included.

 

Verses 1-12 Whatever we have, the property of it is God’s; we have only the use of it, according to the direction of our great Lord, and for his honor. This steward wasted his lord’s goods. And we are all liable to the same charge; we have not made due improvement of what God has trusted us with. The steward cannot deny it; he must make up his accounts, and be gone. This may teach us that death will come, and deprive us of the opportunities we now have. The steward will make friends of his lord’s debtors or tenants, by striking off a considerable part of their debt to his lord. The lord referred to in this parable commended not the fraud, but the policy of the steward. In that respect alone is it so noticed. Worldly men, in the choice of their object, are foolish; but in their activity, and perseverance, they are often wiser than believers. The unjust steward is not set before us as an example in cheating his master, or to justify any dishonesty, but to point out the careful ways of worldly men. It would be well if the children of light would learn wisdom from the men of the world, and would as earnestly pursue their better object. The true riches signify spiritual blessings; and if a man spends upon himself, or hoards up what God has trusted to him, as to outward things, what evidence can he have, that he is an heir of God through Christ? The riches of this world are deceitful and uncertain. Let us be convinced that those are truly rich, and very rich, who are rich in faith, and rich toward God, rich in Christ, in the promises; let us then lay up our treasure in heaven, and expect our portion from thence.

http://www.biblestudytools.com/commentaries/matthew-henry-concise/luke/16.html

  • Read Luke 16:13-18  Remember Jesus is speaking to the disciples in chapter 16.  Who is listening “to all these things” in verse 14?  How did the Pharisees respond to what Jesus was saying?

 

Verses 13-18 To this parable our Lord added a solemn warning. Ye cannot serve God and the world, so divided are the two interests. When our Lord spoke thus, the covetous Pharisees treated his instructions with contempt. But he warned them, that what they contended for as the law, was a wresting of its meaning: this our Lord showed in a case respecting divorce. There are many covetous sticklers for the forms of godliness, who are the bitterest enemies to its power, and try to set others against the truth.

http://www.biblestudytools.com/commentaries/matthew-henry-concise/luke/16.html

  • Read Luke 16:19-31  What do you learn about the rich man?  What do you learn about the poor man?  If you died today would you be with Lazarus or the rich man?  Who will your brothers, sisters, coworkers, friends and family be with today if they die?  Will this prompt you to take action?  If yes, what action will you take?

 

  • Read Luke 17:1-6  What do you learn about stumbling blocks, correction, forgiveness and faith?

 

  • Read Luke 17:7-10  Do you expect an immediate reward or an expression of appreciation for doing what is right?  What insight do you gain from the parable of the servant?

 

  • Read Luke 17:11-19  Where is Jesus going?  Where is Jesus when he encounters the 10 leprous men?  When were the Lepers cleansed according to verse 14?  How many lepers gave thanks to God for their healing?  Notice that the one who returned to give glory to God and thank Jesus was a Samaritan… a foreigner.  Take time today to give glory to God and thanks to Jesus for the blessings in your life. 

 

  • Read Luke 17-:20-37 How is Jesus the Son of Man described in verse 24?  List what will happen to Jesus in verse 25?  How are the days of the Son of Man described? 

 

  • Read Luke 18:1-14  Remember Jesus is speaking to the disciples and the Pharisees are listening.  When should the followers of Christ pray?  Should they give up after awhile if their prayers are not answered?  Why?  Why not?  In verse 9 we see another group of people listening to Jesus.  How are the people in verse 9 described and how do they view others?  Describe the Pharisee and the tax collector.  Which are you most like and why? 

 

  • Read Luke 18:15-27 The disciples mess up.  What do they do? How do men and women receive the kingdom of God and enter it?  What does the ruler want to know in verse 18?  How had the ruler been conducting himself throughout his life?  What did Jesus say the ruler lacked in verse 22?  How did the ruler respond?  Is it impossible for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God?  Why or why not… back your answer up with scripture. 

 

  • Read Luke 18:28-34 What do you learn about the people who leave their homes and families for the sake of the kingdom of God?  List what Jesus tells the 12 disciples in verses 31-33.  Did the disciples understand what Jesus was telling them? 

 

  • Read Luke 18:35-43 What city is Jesus approaching?  How did the people respond to the blind man who was calling out to Jesus?  How did Jesus respond to the blind man?  Why did the blind man receive his sight?  How did the man respond to Jesus when he received his sight?  How did the people respond to the miracle? 

 

 

Are you willing to do whatever it takes to be ready?

 

Write out a prayer of confession and thanksgiving.  Ask God to help you with the difficult and challenging areas of your life.  Give all glory and honor to God the Father and thank Jesus for the example that He has provided for you.

As a guide for prayer consider the words of Jesus from Luke 12. 

All things that are hidden will be revealed.

Do not worry or be anxious about how or what you should speak in your defense. 

The Holy Spirit will teach you what to say when you need to say it.

Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed.

Seek God first and He will provide what you need.

 

Be ready, Jesus will return unexpectedly.

 

Doing whatever it takes,

 

Ginger

 

Ohhh, Mama! Bridging the Generation Gap August 6, 2009

Ohhh, Mama!  Bridging the Generation Gap
Ohhh, Mama! Bridging the Generation Gap

Sitting in the airport I observe anxious parents hug, pray, wave and watch as their college students head to South Africa to study for a semester abroad.  Unknown questions abound.  As they enter security, they still must contact the US Embassy regarding some visa issues.  I overhear one parent say to another parent, “At least they are going together.  You went by yourself.”

                  

The anxious parents press toward the final barrier of the security labyrinth followed by two friends of the college students.  Out of the earshot of the parents one young man comments to his buddy, “I bet my Mama will be the same way when I leave.”

 

Ohhh, Mama!  Tears fill my eyes because at this moment my son Aaron is moving from one side of Bangkok, Thailand to the other side of town.  He is alone.  The summer missionaries have headed back to the United States.  Aaron is not heading back home.  He is leaving what has become his home away from home.  Aaron is exchanging the familiar security and safety of the know surroundings for the unknown. 

 

A family covering three generations is traveling together.  I hear “Xladskjf alskdfj jadlkfjei lsk lakdj reowp.”  I wonder what it is like for Aaron to be surrounded by words he barely understands.  It was a challenge for him to register for classes last week because of the language barrier. 

 

Ohhh, Mama!

 

At the She Speaks Conference this weekend, I had the privilege of hearing a young mama with a newborn baby girl encourage women of all ages to “Bridge the Generation Gap.”  Her name is Aimy.  In her introduction she said, “Don’t tell my Grand-Ma I have this baby out and I am not at home!”

 

Aimy’s words reminded me of my first outing with my daughter.  Amber was born on Sunday morning and the following Saturday we were at Wal-Mart shopping.  I had no idea why I attracted so much attention with my tiny baby girl (she weighed 4lbs 12 ozs. at her first weeks checkup).  OK, now I get it!

 

Imagine the looks I received when I proudly walked into the nursery the following morning at First Baptist Church in Humboldt, Tennessee.  Carl and I were grinning from ear to ear as we handed our precious girl over to the sweet gray haired ladies who exclaimed, “She is so tiny!”  The women sought clarity……”She’s how old?”  “One week old!”

 

Ohhh, Mama!

 

Can you imagine the conversations in the church nursery that day?  In retrospect, I am glad I never heard their words.  Most of all I appreciate the fact that they loved my Amber and they loved on me and encouraged me as a new Mom.

 

Ohhh, Mama!  The good news is…. Amber survived and is thriving as a happy newlywed.  Aaron met two students who speak English before the end of his first day at his new condo.

 

Growing up is never comfortable or easy no matter which side you are on.  Each new season has its joys and challenges.  Oftentimes, we walk in ignorant bliss.  Other times we walk alone under the critical eye and misunderstanding of others.

 

Let us band together as women and sing the sweet songs of encouragement for our dear sisters from every generation.  Ohhh, Mama’s far and wide check out Aimy’s blog at http://AimysGeneration.blogspot.com for wisdom and insight on bridging the generation gaps.  Make sure you take the survey at the top and represent your generation.

Sweet blessings,

 Ginger

PS  “txt Aimy your seminar rocked…love u girl from ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!’ lol”

 

I’ll send your Grand-ma a hand written note and your mom an e-mail 🙂

 

Raising Valiant Sons and Daughters July 23, 2009

Filed under: Family & Parenting — Ginger Craddock | Executive Coach @ 11:30 pm

Valiant Son

Valiant Son

 

Strong, brave and courageous young men and women are among us.  You and I have seen them in our midst and marveled at their courage and depth of character.  What does it take to raise valiant sons and daughters in a generation plagued by greed, immorality, political unrest and every kind of wickedness?

 

Two imperfect individuals come together as Dad and Mom and create junior.  Maybe Dad and Mom are a team pulling together or they are individuals still pulling in their own direction.  Sometimes parents make a sacrificial decision to let someone else raise their child.

 

Regardless of the steps that bring us to parenting we still want to do our best.  When we embrace our responsibilities to equip the next generation; where do we begin if we want to raise valiant sons and daughters?  Our sons and daughters will become the adults of tomorrow.  Will they be courageous young adults who will lead and influence their families, communities, cities, nations and the world for what is good and right?

 

This morning I was awed as I began to read my Bible about a young man named Daniel.  As a child and as a young teenager, Daniel lived in a nation where God was forgotten and mocked.  The nation of Israel was filled with every kind of wickedness.  The people worshiped the works of their own hands.  Wickedness, a forgotten God and people worshiping the works of their own hands sounds a lot like the nations of our world today.

 

Not only was Daniel surrounded by all of this wickedness in his homeland, as a teenager he was taken as a slave into the immoral nation of Babylon.  Imagine if our sons and daughters were taken from us as young teenagers into a wicked immoral environment, how would they function?  Would they be sucked into the conduct of the people around them or would they stand for what they know is right and true?

 

As I observed young Daniel’s life after he was taken as a slave, I saw some amazing characteristics. First, I saw who his “running buddies” were; Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah.  Daniel and his three friends are described as intelligent, endowed with understanding, discerning in knowledge, and they had the ability for serving in the king’s court. Next, I saw that Daniel “made up his mind” to follow the dietary guidelines given to the nation of Israel by God.  Daniels obedience prompted God to grant him favor and compassion in the sight of the commander. The results, Daniel and his three friends were taken into the king’s personal service.  Out of all of the handsome, intelligent, knowledgeable youths taken from Israel not one was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah.  The king also found them to be ten times better than all the magicians and conjurers and wise men in the nation of Babylon. Daniel and his friends were valiant, strong, brave, courageous and successful because they knew their God and they obeyed Him faithfully.

 

Let us stand together as parents of the next generation.  First we must put off the practices of the world and apply the teachings of the Bible in our daily lives.  To lead by example we must know, love and obey God with our whole hearts.  Next, we must teach our children to know, love, and obey God with their whole hearts.  None of us will ever get it right all of the time; neither will our friends, family and Christian brothers and sisters.  God extends grace and encourages us to dust off the sin and get right back on His path.

 

Like Daniel, our sons and daughters will choose their “running buddies” and make up their own minds whom to follow.  We can trust God to bless and correct.  Let us join together and ask God to help us be valiant parents who lead by example and equip our children in the truth of Who God is and the importance of obeying Him and following His plan each day of our lives.

 

Only God can bring the increase and grant us courageous young adults who will lead and influence their families, communities, cities, nations and the world for what is good and right.  Our responsibility is to be faithful in parenting according to Biblical principles and trust God to raise valiant sons and daughters in our midst for His purpose.

“Faith Like Potatoes” July 14, 2009

"Faith Like Potatoes"

"Faith Like Potatoes"

 

Potatoes grow and mature below the surface of the ground much like our faith. 

 

Physical growth is not an easy process.  There are awkward and painful times as we transition from one age bracket or stage to another.  Oftentimes, we can have the appearance of an adult but our behavior communicates that we have a long way to go to reach maturity.

The movie “Faith Like Potatoes” illustrates the uneasy and awkward transition from trusting in your abilities and intellect to trusting in the unseen God.  It is based on a remarkable true life story of Angus Buchan.  Special thanks to our friends Charles and Kimberly who recommended the movie to us.  It is available for rental at our local Blockbuster and may be purchased at Family Christian Stores or at www.amazon.com

 

This is a great “date night” movie.  Carl and I both enjoyed the movie.  We will be adding it to our personal movie library.  It starts a little slow laying the  ground work but the story builds momentum and has surprising twists and turns.

 

The plot synopsis by Jason Buchanan:

“Angus Buchan’s award-winning autobiographical novel is adapted for the big screen by director Reghardt van den Bergh, who traces the story of the rugged South African farmer as he endures remarkable adversity on his quest to discover the true power of faith. Set in the tempestuous hills of the KZN midlands, Faith Like Potatoes follows Buchan from his early attempts to achieve material success, through the personal transformation that follows a series of seemingly insurmountable losses, and a close friendship forged with his faithful Zulu farmhand. Like the potatoes planted in his field, Buchan’s faith remains hidden until the harvest, when he learns how the power of faith can help him to begin the personal healing process, and become more accepting of others.”

 

Post your “movie review” comments.  I would love to hear what you think about the movie.  How did it encourage you in your personal journey of faith?  Did it challenge you in your relationship and conduct with your spouse?  Do you have a faith story of how you were led to trust God?  What legacy are you modeling for your children and community?

Growing in grace,

  Ginger  

 

A Call to Freedom July 3, 2009

A Call to Freedom

A Call to Freedom

 
“The Lord has a case against the inhabitants of the land, because there is no faithfulness or kindness or knowledge of God in the land. ”  “There is swearing, deception, murder, stealing and adultery.  They employ violence, so that bloodshed follows bloodshed.  The land mourns….”   There are droughts, fires, tornadoes, hurricanes and monsoons.  Will real hope and freedom ring out this Independence Day?

 

These are strong words spoken by the prophet Hosea between 755-714 B.C.  It is interesting how Hosea’s words ring true in America and all around the world today.  Hosea goes on to say, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.  Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being my priest.  Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.”  Their ignorance of the knowledge of God was willful.  The priests of the day comingled the worship of Jehovah with the false idols in the land.  Not only was judgment coming on the people but it was also going to impact their children.

 

As a mom, I will do anything within my power to protect and nurture my children.  I want to position them on solid ground for the future.  The best way I have found to do that is to dig into the Bible.  First, I study and learn and then most importantly I apply what I learn.  I take action!  I walk according to what I have learned.  My actions and walk are imperfect but I am headed in the right direction.

 

What direction are you headed in this Independence Day?  Are you walking in freedom with hope and joy?  A great resource for helping each of us get on the right track is “Lord, Teach Me to Study the Bible in 28 Days” by Kay Arthur.  It is one of my favorites.  It is simple and straight forward.  If you will invest 15-20 minutes per day for the next 28 days you will be amazed at what you will learn.  You will gain insight on principles of freedom that will bless your life and the lives of your children, family, friends, co-workers, community and nation.

 This little book is great for students and adults of all ages.  It is an excellent starting point for people with little or no previous interaction with the Bible.  Individuals who have studied the Bible will be delighted to see how their personal study will go to the next level.

 

Share a comment if you have read and studied “Lord, Teach Me to Study the Bible in 28 Days.”  I’d love to hear how you used it and what it meant to you.

 

Let us all celebrate the freedom and joy we have in being a part of this great nation…..the United States of America!

 

May Freedom Ring In Your Life,
