Welcome to Empowered Bible Studies

Bible study is essential to our Christian walk. As we study God's Word, our personal relationship with God grows deeper and deeper. It empowers us to live for the Lord in every aspect of our lives. This is what has inspired me to do an online Bible study.

Many years ago my husband introduced me to a commentary on the book of Colossians and I was so blessed as the Scripture came to life before my very eyes. Since that day we have developed an extensive library and enjoy studying God's Word.

I have prepared some Bible studies that I would like to share with you. My prayer is that they will bless you as much as they have blessed me in preparing them. I pray your life is touched and that it would inspire you to live every moment of every day for Christ.

Life is Short - Don't Procrastinate!

How many of you are like me, I had a million things planned to do this summer and then realized I ran out of time? Summer is gone - kids are back to school - the trees are losing their leaves and the sun is going down a little earlier each day. Life at times seems to be too short! Where does that time go?

But my friend, there is one area I urge you not to procrastinate in and that is in your decision to follow Christ! Don't be like the Roman Procurator of Judea; Felix who presided at Paul's Trial in Caesarea as we see in Acts 24:25 where the Apostle Paul is sharing with him about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come. Felix, under conviction due to his lifestyle says to the Apostle Paul 'That's enough for now! You may leave!' And then he says 'When I find it convenient, I will send for you.'

Oh my friend time is short! Proverbs 27:1 'Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.' There is no guarantee that tomorrow will come!

James Dobson said 'If Satan can't make you sin, he'll make you busy." My friend, don't be too busy for God! Don't be like Felix saying 'When I find it convenient'. Ask Jesus Christ to be your personal savior today!

Here is how you can receive Christ:
1.  Admit your need (I am a sinner)
2.  Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the Cross and rose from the grave
3.  Invite Jesus Christ to come into your heart and take control of your life through the Holy Spirit

Here is an example of a prayer on how to invite Jesus Christ into your life:
"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins. I now invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my personal Lord and Savior. In Jesus' name. Amen"

If you have asked Jesus Christ into your life, I would love to hear from you.  Please leave a comment and let me know so that I may rejoice with you in your new relationship with Jesus Christ.
