Bible Study
January 29, 2007 by Lillie
I’m taking an online Bible study in Ephesians – an excellent course taught by Pastor Ralph Wilson of Joyful Heart Renewal Ministries. The study is also available in an e-book or print book.
I’ve also signed up for the next study beginning March 9th: Resurrection and Easter Faith Online Bible Study.
Whenever possible, a live Bible study is my first choice. However, for health reasons, I’m not able to regularly attend the fine Bible studies at my church—All Saints Anglican. An online course is convenient because I don’t have to leave home to participate. And if I can’t study the lesson when it is sent (every Saturday), I can study when I’m able. I’ve taken several courses from Pastor Wilson and always found them valuable.
Father Chip Harper, All Saints’ rector, talks about the need for Bible study in his devotionals blog. He compares spiritual fitness to physical fitness and reminds us that just as we must exercise our bodies to become physically fit, we must read and study the Word to become spiritually fit.

Amen to that! We need spiritual exercise as well as physical exercise, food, water, etc.
I am sorry about your health problems; may the studies be a real blessing to you. I have enjoyed studies on Ephesians too.
Thank you Lillie, for reminding us that one should be healthy in a holistic manner. Not only the ones that can be seen and feel (physical) but as well in the spiritual aspect (this will follow emotional.)
dae,
Yes, holistic health is very important.
If more people followed your example, the world would be a better place. I am sorry about your health problems!
Christian,
Thank you. I am able to attend Bible study at my church now and am really happy about that.
