You can email us at: [email protected]Our Feature SegmentsA Key Bible verse for Transformed Living: II Timothy Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. I memorized this verse from the King James Version: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Let’s dig into this verse together: Be diligent/Study – We are to be students of the word of God. Present yourself approved to GodA worker who does not need to be ashamedRightly dividing the word of truth In the Greek the idea here is to cut straight. It’s the idea of cutting lumber. You use a square so that you cut straight. This is what we must seek to do when it comes to Scripture.We have an AWANA ministry here at SLBC. AWANA stands for: Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed. The whole ministry of AWANA is simply Bible memorization. Hiding God’s Word in the heart of children. I think we as adults could learn a great deal here. Perhaps we need an adult AWANA ministry at SLBC.Psalm A Key Biblical Principle for Transformed Living: Read the Bible DailyIn Revelation 1:3 we read, “Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.” I know that this verse is dealing with the book of Revelation, but it can be applied to every other book in the Bible. We need to read the Bible daily.Throughout the years a part of discipleship has been to teach young Christians how to make time in their daily lives for reading God’s word. It has gone by many names: DevotionsBible ReadingIn the WordA Christian Guest for Transformed Living: Welcome back to Transformed Life Podcast.
