Happy September! I’m really excited for this months scripture writing plan, Living Sacrifice, because I’m taking the passages from a personal Bible memorization project I’ve recently started. (this post contains affiliate links. see disclosure here) This month, I’m working on memorizing the 12th chapter of Romans and I’m using a Dwell Scripture Memory Journal for the process. They’re beautiful, simple, and easy to add to your quiet time routine! I highly recommend them! This one that I’ve started working on has Romans 12, 1 Peter 1, and Philippians 1. I thought those would be great passages to write this month! These are…
The 3 Steps of Inductive Bible Study
1. Observation This first step asks the question: What does the text say? This may seem pretty straight forward, right? You read the passage and you know what it says.

How to Start a Quiet Time Ritual
In today’s post, we’re talking about quiet time. Honestly, this is the hardest part for me because having a consistent quiet time is something I’ve struggled with for years. However, lately, I’ve come to terms with the fact that having a routine that’s set for a certain time of day isn’t quite as important as having a ritual that I can do at any time of the day. Because while it’s lovely to think of early mornings with with a warm mug, an open Bible, and the birds singing outside the window, that’s not always reality. I used to feel…

In today’s post, I’m going to share a few things to consider when putting together a Bible color code. 1. Consider your Bible The first thing I…
