Great Bible study from Kim! “Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, and to see My glory, the glory you have given Me because You LOVED ME before the creation of the world.” John 17: 24 There is a huge amount of our story that happened even before we were created! God’s LOVE for us started “before the creation of the world!” Through God we know that love is real, that it…

A great study from Kim… “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, …” Genesis 1: 26a I never noticed the word “our” before in this passage. I just remember that we were made in God’s image, but really it goes farther than that, we were created in the image of the Trinity. God was not alone, He was (and still is) part of a relationship! We were created out of relationship for relationship! Many…

Hi everyone, this is a little unusual for a “Collegiate Wonders” typical Bible study, but this is VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION for your generation right now. Please understand: DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT charge one PENNY on any “extras” until you are debt-free! Yes, that means no extra CLOTHES, no extra TRIPS, no extra “deserved” VACATIONS, no extra ANYTHING. No extra $5 items nor $10. THIS is the way my husband Gary and I got ahead. We followed scriptural principles…

Great study from Kim! “Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splender.” Ezekiel 28: 15a Lucifer’s heart became proud!!! We can learn much about ourselves from his actions and story…. From the book “Epic”-“Standing at the head of the vast legions of angelic hosts (millions, as the biblical record counts) was a captian. The most beautiful, the most powerful of them all. The commander of the armies of God. The…

A great study from Kim: “Do NOT be quickly provoked in your spirit, for ANGER resides in the lap of fools.”Ecclesiastes 7: 9 Anger!!! It eventually causes bitterness!Bitterness ROBS us of our JOY!!!! EATS AWAY at our spirit! and does NOT come from God!!!! God tells us “NOT to be provoked quickly!!”Even when…… someone cuts us off on the road! … someone yells at us!! … we find out others are talking about us behind our back! … we are…

Thanks to Kim for another great study… “Let another praise you, and not your own mouth;someone else, and not your own lips.” Proverbs 27: 2 “We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise.” 2 Corinthians 10: 12 We like to toot our own horn! We want others to know what a great job we’ve done! We like when others…

During the 1980’s, Gary and I lived in the great state of Oklahoma for two and a half years. He was stationed at Tinker Air Force Base while I completed my Bachelor’s of Music Education at the University of Oklahoma. We truly loved it in Oklahoma because Oklahomans are some of the friendliest people we’ve ever met.I have to admit that because I am from Utah where weather changes occur in an expected manner, the fickleness of Oklahoma weather unnerved…

Thanks, Kim, for the great study! “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.” Isaiah 40: 29a (We’ll look at the first half of this verse today)What are you weary from? watching the fall of the stock market? ….. being unable to find a job and security? ….. watching the deterioration of a relationship? ….. the ever constant needs of your toddlers? ….. trying to direct your teenager? ….. being over extended at work? (sometimes…

Thanks to Kim for a strong and needed Word…. this is so confirmed in my spirit! God’s Word encourages, comforts, brings us peace, displays His Love for us but it also WARNS us and makes sure we are AWARE of what we are up against…… “And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he (dragon) was not strong enough, and they lost their place in…
