Dining Room Theology #1 GATHERING

Welcome to Dining Room Theology — where the coffee is strong, the Bibles are open, the conversation is lively, and apparently even the cat prays.

Our little group (the Spirit Sisters) gathers around the dining room table each week to study God’s Word, ask hard questions, laugh a lot, and encourage one another in faith.

Tonight, Chewy decided he would lead the closing prayer.

“Amen.” 😄

I’ve been having some fun and relaxing time with my AI program, and it created these cartoons of our Bible study. I hope you enjoy them! Laughter is good for all of us.

Yes, Chewy joins the Spirit Sisters regularly—every Monday, in fact. He seems to think he’s an official member of the group.

We go live every Monday evening on Facebook. Just head over, follow my page, and it will pop up in your Reels when we start.

Right now we’re live at 5:30 PM EST, but soon we’ll be moving to 6:30 PM.

Come join the conversation… and the cat.

Blessings to you and yours!

Grateful For The Gift Of Digital Witness

I am absolutely delighted by the hundreds of believers who openly share their faith experiences through internet blogging.  Why?  I’ve read so many statistics that say the Christian faith is waning.  When I read these blogs, I have more hope for the future. 

God has given man the brains to create the technology that will share His word all over the world.  I love it that so many are using it.  These blogs are definitely an example of Romans 1:16.

We are expected to go and tell (Matthew 28:18-20).  This command is not just meant for directly spoken words or books.  We are to use any and all the means necessary to get the message out. 

I am so blessed by these faithful writers.

Heavenly Father, thank you for the joy of reading so many excellent writers.  Father, give us all strength and courage to say what needs to be said in the days ahead.  Let all the Fruit of the Spirit mature in us as we share You with the world.  Give us the integrity to write our stories using Your Word exactly as You want it taught.  I lift this prayer to the Mighty and Awesome GOD in the precious name of Jesus — Make it so.

Five Minute Friday is one of my favorite blog hops. Each person who submits a link has 5 minutes to complete a post. The posts are (usually) short, easy to read, and full of hope and joy in writing. Blessings to you and yours! Marie

MEND

God wants to mend our hearts, minds, and souls. He wants to repair what’s broken in us. James 5:16 says we are to confess our sins and pray with one another. When we do this, we bring our deepest hurts into the light, and healing can begin. Praying then becomes an act of restoration that allows God to begin the mending process.

We are reminded in the same verse that healing doesn’t happen alone. As believers, we are to pray for one another. In doing so, God can use those prayers to heal any kind of brokenness, be that physical, emotional, or spiritual. Over time God renews and restores us fully.

The Beautiful Word Coloring Bible – Review

Posted on by

The Beautiful Word Coloring Bible, offers a unique way to engage with scripture. It is perfectly suited for those who appreciate both artistic expression and journaling. It arrives packaged in an easily wrapable box, making it giftable without much fuss. The Bible has a lovely pink faux-leather cover. It is a very usable Bible in that it can lie flat on a hard surface making it easy to both journal and color and it curves and bends comfortably on your lap during your quiet time.

The interior encourages active engagement with the text. You will find sufficient space to record thoughts and prayers with journaling lines at the side of each page. There are numerous pictures to color match the message of the Bible stories, which creates a visual connection to the scripture. Please note that the Bible features small print, which is typical of Bibles that have extra features. This is definitely an adult Bible intended for home-based study.

Overall, this is a premium, beautifully constructed tool for deepening one’s faith and knowledge through creativity and contemplation.

If you would like to have a copy of The Beautiful Word Coloring Bible I am gifting two people.
