In
your courtship, it is most important that Christ is in the CENTER of it
ALL. All of your plans should be made with Christ in mind and through
prayer to obtain the direction you will need from God. Remember that
courtship is designed to lead to MARRIAGE, so use your courtship wisely
and as preparation for your lifetime commitment to your fiance or
preance (rhymes with fiance- because you both are pre-engagement :-).
In
my relationship with Greg, we have made an intentional effort to study
the Bible (God’s Word) together. We have varied the ways in which we
have studied God’s Word, including book by book (with our personal
notes), reviewing what God has revealed to us verse by verse, and
creating Google Docs for the book we are studying to type our revelation
from God as we studied His Word (then discussing what God has shown
us).
Together we have studied:
Old Testament books: Ecclesiastes and Habakkuk
New Testament books: 1 Peter, 1 Timothy, 1 John and Luke
It
is always beautiful to see how God reveals the same things to both Greg
and I during our studies and it is also beautiful when He reveals
things to Greg or to myself that we had not individually seen
previously. Greg uses Logos bible software (https://www.logos.com/) and various commentary as He studies God’s word before we discuss the books of the Bible together. I have found http://www.blueletterbible.org/ and www.biblegateway.com very helpful in not only my private bible studies, but in my bible studies with Greg.

Preance, lol Asia you are to cute. Are the bible studies you and Greg do separate from your own personal devotion reading or together?
ReplyDeleteHehehe! Thanks Nephtalie! I heard it recently and thought it was pretty clever. Lol. Great question. Yes, usually the Bible studies we do are separate from our own personal readings or studies.
