Striving For Peace

August 17, 2020 ~ Barbaranne Kelly ~ Leave a comment

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about peace. Rather, I’ve been lamenting the lack of peace that seems to be rending not only our nation and world in some very visible ways, but especially situations closer to home which are breaking my heart and the hearts of people I love. I find myself praying in … Continue reading Striving For Peace

Romans 5-7,the Highlights

March 2, 2020 ~ Barbaranne Kelly ~ Leave a comment

This week in our study we covered Romans chapters 5-7. No small task. But it was made easier by remembering that our goal is to lay a foundation for chapter 8, not to deeply explore every nook and cranny of 5 to 7. With this in mind, I must limit this post to the high … Continue reading Romans 5-7,the Highlights

Romans 1-4, in brief…

February 24, 2020February 24, 2020 ~ Barbaranne Kelly ~ Leave a comment

Originally posted January 16, 2020 at Women of Purpose. In the second class of our study of Romans chapter 8, we faced a near impossible task—have a discussion through the main points of Romans chapters 1 through 4, and keep it within the 2-hour time frame for our class. Our purpose for this and the … Continue reading Romans 1-4, in brief…

Hosea Summary and Conclusion

February 12, 2020 ~ Barbaranne Kelly ~ Leave a comment

Originally posted December 7, 2019, at Women of Purpose. How can I summarize this study of the book of Hosea? We spent 12 weeks mining the treasures of this book, and I still feel like there’s so much that we didn’t tap, so much still just out of reach. We know that God is love. … Continue reading Hosea Summary and Conclusion

Final Appeal

February 6, 2020 ~ Barbaranne Kelly ~ Leave a comment

Originally posted November 22, 2019, at Women of Purpose. Oh, sisters, how refreshing it is to come at last to the final chapter of our study. Not because it means that our time is drawing to a close, no, but because we see in chapter 14 of Hosea a model of true, mindful, heartfelt repentance … Continue reading Final Appeal

No Worship in a Foreign Land

December 30, 2019 ~ Barbaranne Kelly ~ Leave a comment

Originally posted October 20, 2019, at Women of Purpose. The first nine verses of Hosea chapter 9 are hard to read. The prophet Hosea marches into a festal celebration where the people of Israel are enjoying (apparently) the Feast of Tabernacles—or rather, their version of the feast which had merged with the pagan harvest rituals … Continue reading No Worship in a Foreign Land

Israel’s Hypocrisy

December 26, 2019 ~ Barbaranne Kelly ~ Leave a comment

Originally posted October 11, 2019, at Women of Purpose. This week in our study of Hosea chapter 8, we continue learning the cost of Israel’s iniquities. Their many sins in breaking God’s covenant and rebelling against his law, which included idolatry, alliances with pagan nations, hypocrisy in worship, and self-reliance, trace directly to the root … Continue reading Israel’s Hypocrisy

God in Every Detail

October 9, 2019October 9, 2019 ~ Barbaranne Kelly ~ Leave a comment

A few weeks ago our youngest son, Isaac, and his girlfriend, Maddie, were headed home late at night after an evening out with friends on the other side of town. Isaac is living at home while finishing college, and we had lent him our car for the evening since we were staying in (and it … Continue reading God in Every Detail

Words, Words, Words…

September 13, 2019September 13, 2019 ~ Barbaranne Kelly ~ Leave a comment

Now that Bible study season has begun, I haven't had time to sit down and write these past 2 weeks as I adjust my schedule to include research and preparation for our weekly lessons. (The weekend in Houston with the grandkids didn't help either, but I wouldn't have missed it.) So I'm going to polish … Continue reading Words, Words, Words…
