Seasoned to Taste: Chuck Swindoll—Servin’ It Up

“It’s like eating Fritos,” says Chuck Swindoll when commenting on how in-depth Bible study is addicting. “You can never eat one. You can eat a half a bag, but not one.” Your Bible may not be the first thing you reach for when you get home, like your Fritos, but Bible study can be engrossing. Having devoted his life and ministry to the practical teaching and application of God’s Word for over four decades, Swindoll desires that people “realize what they have been missing all these years.” —Karen Jones

Change From Within Africa: From Suffering to Self-Sufficiency

Dr. John Jusu is passionate about curing the ills that still plague diamond-rich Sierra Leone and Africa. He is fighting against poverty, illiteracy, corruption and HIV/AIDS. He believes creating a proactive church is one way to bring a cure.

The Christian church faces a variety of challenges in Africa. One of those is taking responsibility for what happens within society, explains Jusu. “The church and the kingdom of God on earth are the window through which people will see God’s idea for humanity. When people look through the window of my church, I want them to see what God intends for family, politics, and fellowship.”

“We are reading from the Bible and doing what it instructs us. If we are just faithful with the little resources God has given to us, we can do a lot. This is what I am trying to tell most Christians in Africa: You don’t have to go out and ask people for money. The little that God has left you with can go a long way.” —Karen Jones

Being Like Jesus: 8 Weeks in Colossians

Even though we would never wish for pain, it can help us identify with Jesus. For Paul, suffering was an opportunity to edify the body, the church. … In this eight week study, we will learn what Paul means. We will learn how we can rejoice in our suffering, be strengthened by God, and have enduring faith. —John D. Barry

Special Section: Taking A Stand—Galatians

Paul’s stand was strategic. He knew what required immediate attention and what didn’t. … We have to take a stand for Christ, but we cannot do so without strategy. In this section of Bible Study Magazine, you will learn how Paul took a difficult stand. You will see how he addressed the right issues at the right time. May you observe Paul, understand his teachings, and know what actions God wants you to take. —John D. Barry
