Reading Instead of Singing

". . . hymns have been a powerful instrument of God to draw people
closer to His Word and the saving riches therein."
Billy Graham

It’s been four months since I heard God whisper Bible Study Through Hymns early one Sunday morning. I've been busy.

It’s been an enjoyable and interesting time. I’ve spent hours in front of the computer researching and writing.

I’ve written 16 studies, and I thank God for helping me find the stories behind the hymns. Adding Scripture and commentary to the verses brings special meaning in the words.

My dear friend, Carol, has faithfully read, commented and corrected each one. This has brought me confidence to share them.

Since March 15th I have shared some studies each Wednesday morning at church, and those sessions will end on April 19th.

I’ve video recorded eight studies at home and will be putting them online beginning next week, one study a week. My young friend, Elizabeth, wrote out instructions to video, download and link and it was exciting to actually do it.

This project has brought me so much joy. I’m excited and thankful I can share them with my friends.

I hope you will tune in to discover the gold nuggets found in the verses of the hymns. Hymns tell the gospel story. There is so much more to discover then just singing hymns. Reading the verses bring the gospel story to you.

I hope you will look forward to watching the videos and discovering the joy of reading the verses of hymns and learning about the people who wrote them.

"In the midst of the storm, your life boat appears. A psalm, a hymn, a word . . . calming the fiercest winds of the soul.
