Do More Than Nothing

Okay, Ladies . . . this is it!  Our Fall Bible Studies have officially begun - and I hope you were there. This is such a busy and exciting time in our church.  With One Month to Live going on in addition to all our "regular" activities gearing up once again, we have plenty to keep us busy and MUCH to be thankful for.  We are truly, truly blessed with so many opportunities to learn and grow.  I know it makes it difficult - we want to do it all and we can't.  But, please, please, please - don't do nothing just because you can't do everything.  Be glad that you must choose from so many wonderful opportunties.

Now - back to the Bible studies.  Monday and Tuesday were the very first meetings. So you are not behind, even if you could not make the first night.  We say it all the time - Bible study is the heart of the Women's Ministry.  It was the very first thing we ever planned when the ministry started years ago.  It remains the most important thing that we do.  If we could do only ONE thing for the women of our church each year, it would be Bible study.  Make time for Bible study. 

I love, love, love to read.  I usually have two or three books going at once.  Can't explain it - it just happens.  This time, I am doing the Kay Arthur Covenant study, and she made a point that really stuck with me.  There is no book that has more to offer than the Bible.  It is God's holy word, written for us.  And when we study it, we need to STUDY it - make it a priority - don't just squeeze it in when there is spare time.  Sometimes our approach to homework is - YUCK!  HOMEWORK!  And we sound a lot like our kids when they complain about homework.  Do you know the first question anyone ever asks about new Bible studies?  No surprise here - it is "Is there much homework?"  Yes, there is homework.  Just do it.  And if, for whatever reason, you don't get it all done - do what you can.  As Kay Arthur reminded us - whatever studying you do is more than nothing.

So, join us for Bible study.  Do more than nothing.
