    Sunday’s Memory Verse: Study to Shew Thyself Approved unto God

    Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. ~ II Timothy 2:15 I let my hubby choose today’s topic, and he thought I Timothy 2:15 would be the perfect fit.  He said people today really need to get back into the Word of God.  Just carrying it to church on Sunday is not going to cut it.  So many people aren’t reading, nor studying God’s Holy Word!  It’s so very important to becoming Christ-like… God’s Holy Word does these 5 things: – Helps to purify and cleanse us, renews our mind (John 17:17, Ephesians 5:26, Ephesians 4:23)…
