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.
We’re at my parents’ house, along with my brother and his family, for a short vacation before Lee goes on a week trip out of town next week. The children are so excited to be spending time with their cousins and grandparents, but there are several challenges they face while here.
The first is eating. [...]

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.
