I want to do a Bible Study.

Ok I'll do that youngster. I thought you said that you had overdone it today and was going to take it easy??

I tried brother, but I had to bring in firewood. The boy that normally does it, was sick today. Me being out of wood in the house, brought it inside.

That's one chore I don't miss.

Brothers and Sisters,

The last few posts bring up an important question:

Are JudgeNot and Chris officially AWOL?  I think they are, and maybe a warrant needs to be issued for their arrest. 

UM?, who will we send to take them into custody.?

[Soldier4Christ]

I did see JN lurking around today but he hasn't posted in some time.

Umm .... perhaps a n old cop would be best for arresting them.

JN and Cris, are AWOL, I vote you take them into custody!

Though I did see JN on the board earlier, but he didn't post.

   We don't currently have a judge for the Christians Unite Court, so I think we should consider them guilty without a trial.

CHARGE!

The Jury has voted and says GUILTY!! You are charged, brother Tom, to bring in JudgeNot, and Cris.

What does AWOL stand for?  See I can't take sides unless I know what I am supposed to be riled up about.

AWOL = Absent With Out Leave

Hello Sister Kris,

It's nice to see you on the forum. Pastor Roger didn't tell you that "AWOL" is a military term and means you are in big trouble. 

Has your Bible study become a regular event? I'm hoping that you say yes. I love to study the Bible, even alone, but it's more fun with a few friends. I was just chuckling a little bit about what the world might think about a Christian saying it's fun to study the Bible. It's just a different type of fun from what the world considers fun.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Galatians 4:4-6 NASB  But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"

Well it has become a regular thing.  Just by myself.    The people that I work with are a little lazy.

Don't let that discourage you! 
Here's a lesson I learned that may be helpful to you. If not, then just dismiss it! 

When we were attending a local body meeting, I was so hungry for meat instead of opinions from the pulpit. I prayed about it. I found about a local study group in my area (which is amazing since I'm in a very rural area). So I got up the nerve to call and was going to be grown-up and go (after begging my husband to go with me) and it was such a blessing to me for the time it lasted. It was an answered prayer. 

Health reasons kept it from continuing but I wanted to still delve with a group and decided to start one for women during the day. It started off well and just fizzled out. I realized that it was what I wanted at the time but it was not the Lord's time. I was disappointed but resigned. So I kept up my studies alone and with my family. 

Anywaaaaay, fast forward to now when are blessed to be having Bible study again with some families. For as long as the Lord wants us to have it. But I did learn that there is a time- but it has to be the Lord's time and it's not always for all time.

Keep praying and studying! When God wants it to be again, it will!

Sister Kris,

I'm sorry to hear that. I second what Sincereheart said. God Promises that His Word will never return void, so that time was used by God.

Love In Christ,
Tom

1 Peter 1:3 NASB  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
