Face to Face Friday: Growing Up in Him

A Gentle and Quiet Spirit

A Video Bible Study:
Elizabeth George’s “Putting on a Gentle and Quiet Spirit”
Lesson Seven

quiet

Today’s video post reminds us that sins can prevent us from enjoying relationship with God.  And that relationship with God is what frees us from sin.  Our scripture is this:

Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious (1 Peter 2:1-3).

Two key points are that we need to DISCARD bad behaviors and ways of operating and DESIRE the Word.

And I want to encourage you to check out Biblegateway.com for easy access to the Word.  There are Reading Plans, Devotionals (this is the one I get in my inbox), AudioBibles, Dictionaries, and more.  You can read the Bible is hundreds of different languages/translations, compare versions side by side, look at cross references and you can also do a keyword or topical search.  Here are the results for the keyword searches for a few terms from our study today.

  • Malice
  • Guile (Deceit)
  • Hypocrisy
  • Envy
  • Evil Speaking (Slander)

I love Biblegateway!  (#bgbg2) I use it many times every day.  I love the app too; I always have my Bible in my purse now.  I hope that it will be helpful to you as you desire the pure milk of the word!

Tell me, have you ever used Biblegateway?  Do you like it?  How is God using His Word to work in your heart these days?

When the first day of school is also the day your When the first day of school is also the day your firstborn drives herself to college, it’s a lot. We moved her stuff into her dorm last week. Today she got up early to say goodbye to Dad (too early! Not pictured 😂), her brother, her doggo, her piano, and her momma. Before she left, she made blueberry scones to share with her little bro @sjoshlafont —they homeschool and relocated together, went to @westminsteroakmtn together, and have shared a love of music, Legos, superheroes (and villains), Transformers, and so much more. She played my favorite song. She even made banana bread to bring to her new roomie. @graciethenerd You are my little nut brown hare, and I love you to the moon and back. Auburn University is a better place because you are there! ❤️

Also, so grateful for the wonderful school where she spent the last four years—the perfect place to land after years of homeschooling on the move. “For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.” (Ps 100:5) #curatingthegood #graduated🎓 #wisebeyondheryears @graciethenerd @lafonte04 @westminsteroakmtn
