Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Again she twists Scripture to say that God created “community” in Genesis 2:18 — Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.” The provided context in verse 24 instructs us that Genesis 2:18 was God’s basis for creating marriage, not the trendy “community” concept being pushed in every corner of both secular arenas and mainstream Christianity. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. I am now teaching a toddlers class, ages 17 months to 2 years.
She said she’s never heard of anyone being offended by that phrase “baby christian” and that she uses it a lot.
i have had a hard time with bsf. There are some women, who, unfortunately, attend churches where the preaching is sound but the women’s ministry uses materials by false teachers for their “Bible” studies. BSF also has what is called a Satellite Discussion Group (SDG) for areas that are connected with a ‘base class’ but they meet in another location usually because of travel distance. The adult who enrolled the child in class is the ONLY adult allowed to sign-in and out the child. The teachers take so much time preparing to teach the bible story. And we called each other during the week when we had questions about our studies.
Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life. I love the lecture but wonder who is writing the questions and notes.
The leaders never explained the criteria for selecting those who made the grade. Does anyone know? A worldly church is of no good to the world.”, Co-drafter of Evangelicals and Catholics Together: The Christian Mission in the Third Millennium, a landmark ecumenical agreement between the two religions. Paul is not calling himself a “super-leader.” He describes himself as a servant, God’s fellow worker.
I am sure she didnt mean any harm, but it still bothered me. The literal dependence of the parts upon one another.
It is used in its causative stem to indicate subduing or subjugating peoples (Jer.
I’m almost ready to give up. As far as my spiritual journey goes, I have had a lot of ups and downs but one thing I’ve learned is that I am pretty much guaranteed for DOWN if I’m not reading God’s word.
But first I will tell you some of the things you might not love about BSF, so that you will not get mad at me when you show up and you are ushered to your seat. I’m so sorry! I know […], […] instead I am in Colorado and he is in Arkansas and BSF is off for the […]. Ephesians 6:10). XOXOXO. At the same time my life has been changed dramatically, first by my own study of Revelation. And they really love those little ones, praying for them and encouraging the mommies.
This is weird stuff. You go to what is called Introduction Class…also known as a boring recitation of the history of BSF and all the rules and guidelines. A group of friends is excited to sign up for our first study with BSF- but we had some questions about childcare. I am a responsible human being but frequently made to feel like a degenerate at BSF. He is forever challenging the way we try to make the Bible say what we want it to say. I have not done the BSF Revelation study but it has been written since Miss Johnson, so my hunch would be that it reflects the ways we want (to use my husband’s words) to domesticate Revelation from our contemporary (American) experience. Strangely, on a year I had a particularly ungracious leader, I had one of my best years as far as relationships with group members, which is kind of counter-intuitive.
I find I spend one half to one hour per day on questions and homiletics. In this sentence, she gives credit to the togetherness of people in accomplishing God’s will. I have said that I wish somehow BSF could sort of ease up on things like strict attendance records and a very short window of opportunity to get your lesson for the following week, because it seems to hinder a lot of people from coming to something that is actually really good. My daddy has always said that God can handle our questions, so ask them. Believe me, I tried, but was told it was against the rules. Though “community” celebrates togetherness, individuality is the emphasis (like the secular philosophy of multiculturalism). I am a teaching leader in BSF. Conspicuously missing is support from the Bible. But I echo Debra’s thoughts in feeling that it would be appropriate to speak to someone about a consistent lack of grace in your class or among your discussion group.
I know you already know this in your heart but I just want to say out loud (in words): You are a precious child of God. Steve Graves kicks off the eBook with a chapter devoted to the significance of man, a theme prevalent throughout the eBook and typified by the chapter title, “A Leader Worth Following.” The title would be fine, if it was referring to the Lord.
now when i do get the questions completed and have something to contribute to the discussion, she says with enthusiasm “I am so proud of you!!! Genesis 2:15 — Then the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it [i.e., the garden of Eden] and keep it.
It’s consistent. Again, very bible based, very consistent. Thank you for this insight on Bible Study Fellowship. In examining the word “subdue” from Genesis 1:28, she uses Merriam-Webster, an English dictionary, rather than a Hebrew lexicon. The Lord makes very clear in the New Testament what He wants His people called in the context of one another and Himself. If she can do both BSF and her own church’s studies, great, but if she has to choose between the two, she should choose her own church (again, assuming the Bible studies her church offers are doctrinally sound). BSF is nondenominational so that we can focus on the actual WORDS in the Bible, what God actually has said to us, not mans opinions about His words. Steve Graves once again misses the point of the Scripture he uses to make his man-centric point. BSF is not perfect, i don’t know of any Bible study that is. What a huge gift you are bringing to their lives!! We ask our members to use only Scripture to answer questions in discussion. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts. Verse 23 revises the command to say that the man was sent from the Garden to “cultivate the ground from which he was taken.” This is a biblical mandate for Adam to work literal soil, as he was taken from literal ground. I look forward to hearing how it goes. It’s for our girls.
There are zero quotes from Scripture. They are all from way different walks of life than me, which is another great thing about BSF. I have yet done the new Revelation study, but if you’re liking the actual lessons, I would encourage you to press on and see if things improve. Please, please, please, dear Sister in Christ, contact our headquarters rather than relying on hearsay.

This chapter, penned by Susie Rowan, uses Genesis 2:15 as her basis for saying “we are still called to cultivate the culture around us.”. It was a perfect description.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience!! blessings. Corinne, I am so sorry that anyone would ever have to leave a Bible Study feeling humiliated. If a member is actually wrong about doctrine they are usually corrected by other group members before I need to. Colson says he and others at the meetings “were moved by the words of our Lord, calling us to be one with one another as He is one with us and with the Father, in order that the world might know, as Jesus prayed, that ‘Thou didst send me.’“ Colson added, “We were agreed that the Scripture makes the unity of true Christians an essential—a prerequisite for Christian evangelism.” As 2 Corinthians 6:14b teaches, “What fellowship has light with darkness?”, p. 23 — Donald Miller
