Bible Study

I want to share info on the Bible Study I did while in Kenya... it changed my life in a huge way.

Below is a list of the main points. Each point is studied in great detail.

1. God is always at work around you.
2. God pursues a continuing love relationship with you that is real and personal.
3. God invites you to become involved in His work.
4. God speaks by the Holy Spirit through the Bible, prayer, circumstances, and the church to reveal Himself, His purposes and His ways.
5. God's invitation for you to work with Him always leads you to a crisis of belief that requires faith and action.
6. You mus make major adjustments in your life to join God in what He is doing.
7. You come to know God by experience as you obey Him and He accomplishes His work through you.

The workbook can be ordered here for about $15. It's a daily study for 12 weeks.

Below is a poem that is in the study:

Deep in my soul there’s a longing I feel
To look at my life in the light of your will
Knowing your heart; trusting your truth
Day after day I’m walking in your will
All my hopes; all my dreams
Help me forfeit everything
For whatever Your kingdom requires
Guide my steps
Let me see the best you have for me
Give me a heart for your desire
Teach me, oh God in the ways of your Word
Whisper through voices that I’ve seldom heard
Strengthen my faith
Weaken my will
Lead me to where your love is fulfilled
As I delight in you, oh Lord
Within me there’s a fire
And I’m finding the desire of my heart
Is a desire for your desire
I want a heart for your desire
