... living to know God and to make Him known.
This digital space is where I compile thoughts from discipleship Bible studies I have participated in and I also record helpful reference materials that I have used in preparing new studies.
Links on the left will lead you to the topics listed there.
Studying the Bible allows us to see more of who God is. As a mirror it helps me know myself Γνώθι Σαυτόν better so that I can be transformed (Romans 12:2) as I allow God's word to renew my mind and my thinking.
As we walk with others in their journey to peace, we find fulfillment in gaining empathy for their challenges and in encouraging them to over come them. We all have addictions and escapes to pain that we seek because we may feel empty or from lack of understanding our purpose. I have found great fulfillment in growing in my knowledge of God and his love, and in helping others find their purpose and passion and realize the promise of peace in Jesus Christ.
Blessings, Paul
