Bible Studies

​Study to show thyself approved unto God,
a workman that needs not to be ashamed,
correctly dividing the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:15

I am thankful for the good and well balanced Bible studies we have here at Shawangunk...

This month, for instance, Alan, who's one of our Bible teachers, has us studying the topic known as "progressive sanctification." How that, as a disciple of Christ, we should over time become more and more like the Lord himself in both word and conduct.

While Ron, another civilian who comes to teach us from the Scriptures, has us focusing on casting all our cares, burdens and problems to the Lord, while trusting Him to handle these matters.

Then brother Bill has been discussing the subject of endurance. How we as followers of the Lord, have been imbued and empowered by the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, who is there to strengthen us.

As our chaplain, during his studies, has been speaking to us about the existence of evil. What it is and where it originates from, and what to do about it as believers in the Lord. How the Bible exposes evil, and how we can discern deception from truth. We're being taught, as well, to fight evil with faith, and not to live in fear of it. Having such studies is a great blessing.
