I hope and pray you had a pleasant Sunday and were able to worship together in fellowship with other believers. I know, however, there can be seasons in our lives as caregivers when it isn’t possible to get out to church. God has wonderfully provided so many ways for us to be blessed even then.
I strive to make sure I get into my Bible daily for study. I love the Precepts Bible studies by Kay Arthur – www.precept.org . They really encourage me to dig down deep into the Word. I love taking classes that utilize them in a group setting, but I have also done complete ones all on my own at home. In addition to her Bible studies, she has many excellent books available that you can use as devotionals.
Beth Moore is another excellent teacher with many different options available. She has books, Bible studies, videos, and audio tapes available to help you study the Word. Her website is at http://www.lproof.org/ You can also go to http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/living_proof_with_beth_moore/ and select from one of four 30-minute Bible studies she has given over the past four weeks – either audio or video – for free. What an awesome blessing! Of course, you can purchase her materials there or at www.lifeway.com .
Other options I utilize when I’m not able to get to church are sermons I download with Itunes at www.itunes.com or directly from the church’s website. Some of my favorites include:
Craig Groeschel – LifeChurchTV – his site even offers Online Church complete with singing which is great for shut-ins and those who are there to help them. They also offer podcasts to listen to. http://internet.lifechurch.tv/
Skip Heitzig – Calvary Chapel Albuquerque – Connection Radio Podcast http://www.connectiononline.org/podcast.asp
Greg Laurie – Harvest Christian Fellowship – Harvest Podcasts http://www.harvest.org/podcast/
John Miller – Calvary Chapel San Bernardino – Word of Life Podcasts http://www.calvarysbd.com/ (click on the Itunes banner on the right side of their page)
If you take a peek at my Favorite Books and Music page, you’ll find books by Beth Moore, Kay Arthur and Greg Laurie there, waiting for you to peruse them in the comfort of your computer.
These are just six of the great options for online teaching available to help us worship God and learn more about Him, even when our world has become more confined due to caregiving responsibilities. These also give us wonderful opportunities to help those we are caring for to worship as well.
