"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion — to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair."~from ISAIAH 61 Bible verse for this Blog

APOLOGY to READERS who followed a SEARCH to HERE & didn't find it

On July 18, 2017, I drafted almost 3000 blog posts that I had published since 2008 when I began blogging, rather than edit each one. So if you clicked here from somewhere else and ended up with the post unavailable or error, I am sorry but this is why. It'd be too much work for me to go back and fix them. There's an explanation on 7/19/17 as I'm still learning.

THURSDAY "enTRUSTING" ~ 2

LIFEWAY
Online Bible Study
of
2 Timothy
with
Beth Moore
and her book
"ENTRUSTING"
 

Session 2
{publishing at noon so I can link up hopefully and attempt to at least do today's}
of course, if I'm caught up, it's Session 2's video with Beth today -yeah!
otherwise I have some reading to do

-the video offers a glimpse of Paul's first letter to Timothy
-establishes the concept captured in the title of this 6 week study
ENTRUSTED

WEEK 2
PURPOSE and GRACE

Day 1: "A Clear Conscience"
Timothy, the Corinthians and Paul's way of life in Christ (next level with Melissa)
Day 2: "I Remember"
Day 3: "His Own"
Day 4: "Because I Know the One"
Let No One Despise Him (next level with Melissa)
Day 5: "Left and Found"

Each day starts with a 
FLASH FORWARD
(day one of week 2)
2 Timothy 1:3a
(of scripture)

{sampling of the questions interspersed in Day One}

Compare 2 Timothy 1:2 to 1 Timothy 1:2
Do you sense any intensification in the second letter?
If so, in what way?

How did Paul serve according to 2 Timothy 1:3?

1 Timothy 1:13-15

Paul had been the believing recipient of a work described in
Hebrews 10:19-23
Read this passage and record the basis of 
"a true heart in full assurance of faith."

(then the study goes into a guilty conscience and more from)
Hebrews 9:11-22; Hebrews 9:18-20 (Exodus 24:1-11)
flip back to Hebrews 10:19-23
Focus on Hebrews 10:22 (circle 'sprinkled' and 'washed')
To make the connection with Hebrews 10:22, you need only read two verses. Record the act of consecration taken in each:
Exodus 29:4
Exodus 29:21

{of course, there is wonderful information written as well}

"He gave His life not only as our sin offering but our guilt offering."


this is just day one, pages 47-52, glimpse

Beth Moore
always
brings depth
and
understanding
(and Melissa Moore takes us another step deeper- with level 4 & 5)

MOORE On Monday (MOM)

with one of two of the newest
LIFEWAY WOMEN
Online Bible Study

"ENTRUSTED"
{which I shared last Thurs. and promised to update on Mon.}
by
Beth Moore

"...and a promise is a promise"

Even if I am not at all caught up with this "Entrusted" study, I've already missed publishing SOS (which I'm saving to post about either P31's OBS "Me, Myself and Lies" or Faith Gateway's "Daniel Prayer") and nothing else has been done either like my book review long overdue (so much so, that I have now been deactivated-sigh) yet I'm still loving Faith Barista Bonnie Gray daily with "Whispers of Rest" (which I have set aside my Weds. to share, but I'd really love to do them daily online but it's enough for me to just take time to do them first thing in the morning and 'breathe ...just breathe' ... yes, I 'bit off more than I could chew' but ... I just did not want to miss out on any of these, they are so good!!! And ENTRUSTED is as I thought, packed with so many details, in its thin study guide of 179 [large 8 1/2 by 11] pages filled to the brim, no matter which of the 5 levels you choose to do, just check out the outline of Week 1. 


Day One: "A Trail of Two Cities"
On Reading Scripture
Day 2 (Sat. or Sun.) "Meet the Teacher"
Day 3 (Mon.) "Where Was He When"
Day 4 (Tues.) "A Beeline to City Three"
Theology: A Collective Struggle
Day 5 (Weds.) "A New Son and A Circumcision"

according to my own plan, I should be on

Day 3
"Where Was He When"

FLASH FORWARD: 1 Corinthians 2:2

 Job 38:4
who asked the question, who was addressed and what was the occasion for the
"where were you when ______________"?
the glaring event for the early church
"where were you when they crucified Jesus?"

Acts 20:16
"why didn't Saul of Tarsus stay in Ephesus?"

(this is just the first 2 pages of this day with much background information)

2 more pages packed
and then Day 3 ends with this:


"On the high road of that rabid zeal we land our lesson. Read Acts 9:1-9 and, if you've read it many times, try to read it with new eyes. If you're like me, (Beth Moore) some responsive thoughts are rolling around in your head as you raise your chin from that page. Record two of them as your conclusion today~"Entrusted" by Beth & Melissa Moore
1 Corinthians 15:8

Since this is my first Beth Moore actual study, I don't want to miss anything! I can tell it'd be so,much better in a church group or sitting in the group as Beth instructs us - but for now the videos will do just fine. And I'm thrilled to be able to view them online without having to purchase them right now. 

SESSION ONE
for
WEEK 1

Lots to think about and this is just the background and introduction
This Thursday we'll be in WEEK 2 when we actually start with

2 TIMOTHY

but all this preparation is so good

<><><>

In "WHISPERS of REST" today's
DAY 15
in Part 3 "Dreaming as the Beloved"
Rejuvenate Your Passion for Life12

{oh yeah}

"GATHER"

{more on my Weds. WOW}

<>
I apologize for not posting anything for SOS from those two wonderful studies mentioned above ... so I may go back and add a post on SONday 6pm for P31 and perhaps Faith Gateway's Ann Graham Lotz "Daniel Prayer" OBS on Friday {if I can do it ahead of time to publish on Friday and sum up this week rather than look ahead to the next, but she also is such an excellent teacher and guide for "praying"} 

Perhaps if you read 
Acts 9:1-9
you might share with me
your thoughts that
"are rolling around in your head"
from what it said
to you



To my faithful visitors;
all of you who spend your valuable time here with me
I do appreciate you so much!

Thank you for taking your time to visit!

Love, Sweet blessings & Hugs!

DIOS TE BENDIGA
GOD BLESS YOU

always
