During the course of my life, I have had the privilege of studying God’s word with many amazing people. Apart from personal time with God, there has been nothing in my life that has fueled my love for Him and my passion for His kingdom more then hearing another sojourner hash out what the truth of God’s word looks like in their life. God’s design has allowed me time with each one in season but many have moved away, entered into a season of secret service with the constant care of children and households, or gone into a season of frenzy and busy schedules that has left little white space for a weekly study or coffee with a friend. It is in these seasons that I hope the internet gives us the blessing of continuing to connect with each other and with God’s word. The application the Spirit gives you spurs me on and helps me to see the implications of His truth in deeper ways. That is the cry of so many of our hearts to know him deeper, to love him deeper. The enemy loves to tell us that we’ve been exposed to it all, that our felt board Sunday school classes taught us all there is to know about God and His word. Giving more time to it would bore us when there are so many other things to do. These are lies, all lies! God is so multifaceted and mysterious and He reveals himself constantly in new ways through his spirit, through his word and through the community of believers made in his image. My hope is that as I share how God is revealing Himself to me in His word that you would share your heart in how He has met you as well, and that for a moment it might seem like we were not separated by time or space but sitting across from one another with a warm mug in our grips. And may our time together in His word take us deeper still.
