STUDY–>SEE–>SAVOR!!
God is my GREAT Treasure and nothing can compare with Him! There is none like God! The more I know Him, the more I want to know Him. To know God, we must seek Him where He is revealed–His Word, the Bible. So my goal is to STUDY His Word, SEE Him for Who He really is, and SAVOR Him, enjoy Him!
About me: I am a wife, mother and new grandmother. I am blessed to be on staff at Bethlehem Baptists Church, live near Minneapolis, and love theology and love teaching the Bible. I want to spread a passion for God, in all His beauty, grace, mercy and glory. The Apostle Paul sets a great example in Acts 20: 18-35:
And when they came to him, he said to them: “You yourselves know how I lived among you the whole time from the first day that I set foot in Asia, 19 serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials that happened to me through the plots of the Jews; 20 how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you in public and from house to house, 21 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance toward God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. 22 And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, constrained by the Spirit, not knowing what will happen to me there, 23 except that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city that imprisonment and afflictions await me. 24 But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. 25 And now, behold, I know that none of you among whom I have gone about proclaiming the kingdom will see my face again. 26 Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all of you, 27 for I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God. 28 Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood. 29 I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; 30 and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. 31 Therefore be alert, remembering that for three years I did not cease night or day to admonish everyone with tears. 32 And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified. 33 I coveted no one’s silver or gold or apparel. 34 You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my necessities and to those who were with me. 35 In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
Grateful for the incredible grace of God through Jesus Christ,

Hi, I found your blog doing a search for a church in Austin. My family is considering relocating to Adams MN and are looking into churches. We have great respect for the ministry of John Piper – our daughter is a student at their school and we are seeking God for direction and praying that he has a place for us in a church family. could you give me more info on Austin Churches? We desire to fellowship with Christians that serve Christ out of Christian hedonism and not duty. We also desire to meet with belivers that seek not to escape pain and suffer but rather know the joy of suffering and see the BIG picture.
