Thinking through the process of finding wisdom to help our three children to love the Lord our God with all their heart, soul, and mind.
Still pondering this issue of sin and the Holy Spirit.
Last night I thought a bit about our kids. When they’re good, I delight in their goodness. It warms the les of my heart to see them showing kindness to others and each other. I love to see them quickly obeying the [...]

We’re watching the Shepherding a Child’s Heart video series at church on Sunday nights (the third church we have attended to do so). As usual, they provide great material for discussion between Lee and me. There is much helpful and encouraging material in these videos, and we would gladly recommend them to others.
However, one [...]

I’m not even thinking spiritual thoughts for my kids right now…
Laurel Nicole Brock arrived a few weeks early (long tortured story). My mom just left today. We’ll see how my sanity holds with three children. Guess God know I needed to depend on Him just a little bit more, eh?
Let’s see… spiritual thoughts…

I hope you have enjoyed reading my blog, but my greatest desire for my audience is that they would be inspired and motivated to search the Scriptures for themselves. God promises to give wisdom to any believer who searches for it His way. Here are some Bible study links I have found of interest and help.
Chronological Bible: ESV
Read the Bible chronologically. The first time I read through the
Bible in the order everything happened, I learned so much and gained
an incredible understanding of the big picture of Scripture. If
you've never done it, you should!
Bible Gateway
From this website you can search for scriptures in a number of
versions and languages by key words, phrases, or references. I use
this website often when I post Scripture on my blog, so then I don't
have to worry about typing in the verse accurately.
Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
This is a fantastic online version of
a classic reference tool. Basically this is a list of cross
references based on particular passages. Simply click on the verse or
passage you are studying, and you will find other references to other
relevant Scripture.
Bible Commentaries Online
A list of classic Bible commentaries. Sometimes they're hard to
understand, but they can be helpful when you're wanting more insight
into a passage you are studying.
More Bible Study Resources
This is a page of links for articles and audio on the topic of
studying the Bible. Some are not easy to read, but they are helpful.
The rest of this website has a tremendous amount of resources that
may be of interest.
