Hello Readers,
I pray that each one of you is well. Well physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, relationally and financially. Hallelujah and Amen!
On December 8th, my pastor, Dr. Lee Ward, preached a great message and asked the members to read Acts chapter 20 on our own. So on Wednesday of that week it was on my heart to share with you what I have been learning from this eye opening chapter in Acts. Over the next 10 days we will walk through Acts 20. As we go through this passage of scripture feel free to share what you are learning and your comments.
S.O.A.P.
The S.O.A.P. Bible study method is the format that I am using. It stands for Scripture, Observation, Application and Prayer. This is a great study format that you may want to incorporate in your personal Bible study or scripture reading.
Are you ready to embark on the study of Acts 20? If so let's GO!!!!!
Light you light shine!

Lunch Time Post: Having Quality Quiet Time
Hello Dear Friends,
This morning I listened to a sermon by the late pastor, Dr. Adrian Rogers with Love Worth Finding Ministries and Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis, TN. Today's message was on, "How To Have A Meaningful Quiet Time." I would like to suggest that if you all can, take the time to listen to his message at http://www.oneplace.com/. If you are a note taker make sure you have plenty of paper.
If you don't have time to listen to Dr. Rogers' message, below are the questions that he gave that we should ask ourselves when reading a passage of scripture so that we can absorb the Word into our heart and really think about what God is saying to us.
I wrote these 5 questions on the inside cover of my Bible so I can always refer to them during my quiet time.
Devotional Questions
1. Is there a command to obey?
2. Is there a promise to claim?
3. Is there a sin to avoid?
4. Is there a lesson to learn?
5. Is there a new truth to carry with me?
Dear friends all I can say is WOW! When I had my quiet time this morning I read the passages while thinking about the questions above and it was like reading God's Word with a really bright light! The passages I read, which I have read many times before, seemed brand new! I wrote new notes on almost every verse! My quiet time routine is now upgraded. I am so excited!!!
Maybe you are having a hard time getting the most out of God's Word in your quiet time. Maybe you focus on just reading a certain number of verses or chapters in a day. I encourage you to begin asking these questions as you read your Bible. I think you will be amazed at how God's Word will unfold before you.
Be Blessed and Much Love,
Jamison
