Topical Bible Study

[HeChangedMyName]

Would anyone like to have a topical Bible study here? I say we throw out some topics and then I can post a new thread a we can work our way down the list of most popular topics. I believe and have found for my self that application of Biblical principles is a great way to learn to walk the walk.

Hopefully y'all will want to participate. Please post topics in this thread. To keep the list from getting too overwhelming. I'm gonna cut off the list on Friday evening at 10:00 eastern time. Once we get a list, I will start a new thread where we can all come and post personal testimonies related to a particular scripture that deals with the topic of that particular week.

Witnessing to others in Godly way and not in a condemning manner

[GV-NA-GI-TLV-GE-I]

How about the book of Revelations? That's a good one right there because so many people have such differing teachings and opinions on it.

Rather than studying a particular book or scripture that this study will be based upon topics from life and then we will pull in scriptures that relate to that life situation. Feel free though to start another thread about Revelations. It would be a good one I'm sure.

End Times? How to prepare in this present life whichever one's take? If not, I certainly understand. I get the hint. I'll stay out of it.

I'm sorry, I wasn't hinting at anything.
You just posted a book of the Bible, rather than a topic so I thought I'd clarify. I did add End Times to the list though as a topic and hopefully as we study it, we will see that preperation for end times will include studies of scriptures from other books of the Bible including but not limited to Revelation.

[HeChangedMyName]

I am so ready to get started. I know I have scriptures running through my head on so many of these topics. I hope you all are excited. My prayer is that God move within this thread and the ones that come out of it to bless at least one person.

[authenticitymanifesting]

humility, honesty, integrity, parenting, growing in Christ, respecting self & others

[HeChangedMyName]
