Bible Study Skill/Tools – Key Word Search

Have ever wondered what the Bible has to say on a certain subject?

Have you, like me, found yourself Googling “what does the Bible say about … ?” only to find multiple (and sometimes conflicting!) views on whatever subject may be at hand.

Doing a keyword search in my Bible or Bible app often helps me gain a deeper meaning of what God’s Word actually has to say on a certain topic.

I LOVE using BibleGateway.com to do keyword searches! I type in the word I want to study and what version of the Bible I want to use, and it pulls up the verses on that subject! Here below is what it looked like when I did a keyword search on faith.

With over 507 results and the ability to view other translations, context, or the whole chapter, I found myself in awe of God’s Word and how it all fits together to speak straight into my life today!

I would like to challenge you to pick any small book of the Bible (or long passage that can be read in one sitting) and read the whole thing for several days or even weeks in a row, looking for something different every day … such as references to God one day, to Jesus the next, to His promises, His provision, His faithfulness and so on. As you read, look for things you’ve never seen before in those verses, let them speak to you personally, seek a fresh deeper understanding of God’s Word.

I love that I can do key word reading any time, with nothing more than my Bible!

Hebrews 11, often called “The Hall of Faith,” by many Bible scholars. So I encourage you to continue your walk of faith by reading Hebrews 11 (or another passage if you like) for several days, a few weeks or even a month. Whatever works for you…As you read the same words/verses over and over again, let them soak deep within your soul and change you.

Travel Adventures 2023

Travel Adventures 2023 – So many places to go! This year my husband and I traveled to Reno, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park. I took lots of pictures but could only choose a few for this blog. I’ve included a little information about each location we visited, along with a few pictures. Enjoy! Reno is a city in the northwest section of the U.S. state of Nevada, along the Nevada-California border, about 22 miles (35 km) north from Lake Tahoe, known as "The Biggest Little City in the World". Known for its casino and tourism industry. We stayed at the Nugget Casino & Resort...and no, I did not put any money in the slot machines!!! :-) What's a vacation with shopping - the Outlets at Legends proved to be more than shopping. Then off to Virginia City. Lake Tahoe is located on the border of California and Nevada. About two-thirds of the lake is in California, with about one-third extending into Nevada at the north and south ends of the lake, and the entire

Happy Labor Day!

Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. It is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated on the first Monday in September to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States. The holidays stem from the late 1800s when labor activists wanted a federal holiday to recognize workers' contributions to the country. The first U.S. Labor Day was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882 in New York City, planned by the Central Labor Union. The Labor Day parade of about 10,000 workers took unpaid leave and marched from City Hall past Union Square uptown to 42nd street and ended in Wendel’s Elm Park at 92nd Street and 9th Avenue for a concert, speeches, and a picnic. Oregon was the first to declare Labor Day an official holiday in 1887. Labor Day is considered the 'unofficial NFL season kickoff.' 99.44 percent of the ti
