Note from Gwen for August 2024
Happy
August, all! I've been thinking lately about the power of God's Word. Truly it
is a treasure trove, and we will never fully plumb the depths. I love how God
makes His Word alive to us; passages we've read hundreds of times take on new
meaning to encourage us, spur us on, correct us, or give us direction at just
the right time. Familiar favorites direct our steps and consistently remind us
of truth. And, of course, not-so-familiar passages do the same. As 2 Timothy
3:16–17 says, Scripture is certainly quite useful. It is no mere instruction
manual; . . .
I
also want to thank you so much for this ministry. It's helped me get a much
better understanding of things I used to feel very uncertain about. I'm sure it
has deepened the faith of many Christians and will continue to do so!
Wow,
thanks for the response, definitely insightful.
I
have no new question I just wanted to thank you for acknowledging my question
and taking time out of your busy schedule to give me a very good and
comprehensive answer. Blessings!!
Thank
you, several things you mentioned were already in my mind and reading your

as the rain and the snow come down from heaven
and do not return there but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent
it." – Isaiah 55:10–11 (ESV)
