In reply to Camillyn. Thank you for your comments, Camillyn. :) I'm so glad you find it easy to read through the Bible. Many people find it intimidating and some find it boring.

It is so, so easy to “just” read your Bible! My husband and I have read through the Bible about 7 times in the past 10 years. If I’m reading through the Bible with a group we just read through the same Scriptures each week and share with each other what we learned. That’s it

Thank you for this article which touches my heart. I can relate to this issue. I’ve grown very tired & discouraged over many women’s Bible studies (and unfortunately I use the words bible studies loosely.) Questions asked without scripture to back anything up, wanting women to dig up their past/etc. I truly believe many of these types of books can be dangerous. I too want meat…not fluff & stuff…but God’s word. We have the Holy Spirit, let’s not quench the Spirit, let’s not have spiritual starvation when we have God’s truth to draw from. There are topical books I’m not against but I believe most Christian women want something different that will help us grow & disciple. Thank you. God Bless.

I’m dealing with the exact situation. However, I’ve never felt comfortable or satisfied with bible study literature. Gods word give us everything we need for a godly life. He’s gave me this hunger to know HIM and seek him. Bible study literature restricts that by asking us basic questions not allowing us to really dig in and get the meat we are all longing for. I want to know all of him intimately. God gave us his spirit for a reason. Let him guide you and teach you what HE wants you to know.

Agree 100%!
I don’t know how many times women have told me they waited till the last minute to read the chapter in their book, like right before our meeting.
We are doing bible study this go around!

Thank you for this! Just what I needed. I did “small group” for years. Of course after Covid changed it all. I’ve had opportunities to do “small group” again but just didn’t feel in my heart I wanted to. I felt bad about it but just couldn’t. I felt it was more “social” and what was “on the menu” for food each time. I moved and it took longer for me to get home which meant a little time away from my family . I felt like I couldn’t answer 1/2 the questions the right way or anyway because it was asking what I thought. I definitely feel better about my choice after reading this. It makes so much sense. Not that I will never to a small group or Bible study again but I will be putting more time into reading the actual Bible and learning through that. Thank you.
