Since 2012, She Reads Truth has maintained a singular mission: to be women in the Word of God every day. Ten years later, our community includes “Shes” from across the globe, but our mission hasn’t changed.
Reading Scripture together is the centerpiece of what we do at She Reads Truth. As we spend time as a community reading This Is The Church, we encourage you to start by reading the daily Scripture on your own. Then join us here to engage and encourage one another as we respond to what we’ve read. Each day for this series, we’ll include a brief summary of the reading along with a prompt for conversation.
Scripture illustrates the relationship between Christ and His Church through the imagery of a wedding. As the bridegroom, Christ loves, provides for, and sacrifices Himself for His bride, who responds to His love in preparation and submission.
Today, along with responding to the reading, share with the community in the comments why you wanted to engage with this reading plan. What are you hoping to learn more about?
I think this study is so timely because right now it’s easy to get cynical about the church and its leaders. We see the sin so prevalent throughout and it erodes our trust in the culture of the church as a whole. This study is reminding me to keep Jesus as the firm foundation. We are imperfect, yet holy. A people is progress. We don’t look to our leaders ultimately. Jesus must be kept in the center. And today is a reminder that we as the people of God, submit to Him daily, which keeps us from sin. As a pastor’s wife, I never want to be the cause of someone losing faith in the church or even in God, because of my sin and poor testimony. Keep me near the cross, Jesus!
I feel like it is hard to define who is the church right now when your feet are on the ground. The pandemic highlighted how you can have two Jesus followers with very opposing ideas. Also, I can teach my kids to live morally, but worship next to someone who lives sexually immoral and gets drunk on the weekends. How do you define what things you need to accept as differences and what things are sins that need to be addressed.
Hello from Australia Maddie.
Our denomination is going thru a huge split right now and I want to be well prepared before I make a decision about my future allegiance to the church. I struggle a bit here with only scripture and not a perspective from the SRT Team; but also I respect that we each decide for ourselves.
To know what does it mean to be the Lord’s people and how to live accordingly….
I started this plan because I wanted to learn more about God with a community of women. I don’t have many girls my age close to me that are Christians, and I wanted to feel connected to a community.
I love this study because it has helped me understand what God says about the ‘C’ Church. It’s helped me dive deeper to my faith and ask and answer questions about the denomination I was raised in. It has encouraged me to decide where I feel I best fit in as far as a local church based on the teachings of the Gospel
