About Lisa Ann

By

Hi!  I'm Lisa Ann.  I'm a happily married wife of 31 years and a mother of 6 children. 

All 6 children have been home-educated, but before I had children I was a teacher in both Public and Private schools.  I also worked as an Outdoor Education Specialist at a National Wildlife Refuge, and as an Ornithologist for my local Forestry Commission. I also did contract work for a private timber company, creating wildlife management plans for landowners.  My college degree is in Environmental Biology.
 
I have been a "stay-at-home" mom, or as the Bible calls it, a "keeper at home" and a "guide [of] the house" for 23 years.

I have been a reader of the Bible since age 6 when I received my first Gideon's New Testament in First Grade. 

Yes, I read it through.
  
I was not brought up in church, and the few things that I learned about God in my childhood were all wrong!
  
I received another Gideon's New Testament during my 3rd year of college, and I read it through again.
 
Between First Grade and College, I visited a few churches here and there and continued to read the Bible.  I even joined a Baptist church at age 16 by walking down the aisle and getting water baptized.  I was mostly ignorant and confused about God's word, and I was not saved.  I had never heard that Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God, came to the earth in the flesh for the purpose of dying for MY SINS.  I finally heard this "good news", this gospel, in 1998, and I trusted in what Christ had done for me, and I was saved.
  
I have continued to be a reader of the Bible.  I study it daily.  Through careful study of His word I have come to know the Word made flesh, Jesus Christ, who is God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth.  I have come to love the word of God, as Job says, more than my necessary food.

I hope that this Blog will be a blessing to you.  That as we study through the Bible together, we may increase in our knowledge of HIM!

Women Bible Teachers - Part 1

By
Welcome to the Women’s Weekly Bible Challenge! I’m Lisa Ann Spencer.  This week we’re beginning a new series, Everything the Bible has to say about WOMEN TEACHING . Part One Let’s search the Scriptures like the Bereans in Acts 17:11.   This is so easy to do today with access to digital concordances at our fingertips. I use www.biblegateway.com and www.BlueLetterBible.org .   For example, using both of these concordances, I looked up the word TEACH . “Teach” is found 170 times in Bible Gateway , including all forms such as: teaching, teacher, teachers, teachest, and teacheth. BlueLetterBible catches only the word “teach” 109 times in 108 verses. I also looked up the following related words: Taught Instruct ; including instructs, instructor, instruction, instructions, instructed, Learn; including learned and learning. I combined each of those words with each of the following words: Her, She, Woman, Women, Mother, Daughter, Wife, Wives, Sister an...

When God Speaks to Women - Part 3

By
Hello and welcome back to the Women’s Weekly Bible Challenge!   I’m Lisa Ann Spencer.  Today we will be diving into Part 3 of our series, When God Speaks to Women . Last week we spent most of our lesson taking a close look at those first conversations that took place between Eve and Satan, and between Eve and God.   Today, we will look at a few New Testament references to Eve before we move on to the next woman that God speaks to as recorded in Scripture. Our search results for Eve from last week were: Genesis 3:20 Genesis 4:1 2 Corinthians 11:3 1 Timothy 2:13 We already looked at Genesis 3 and 4 last week. So let’s begin today by taking a closer look at 2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. I point out again, that one of the purposes for God preserving His word is for our learning today.   (Check out these two re...

HEADCOVERINGS - 1 Corinthians 11

By
Hello and welcome to the Women's Weekly Bible Challenge! I'm Lisa Ann Spencer.  Let's talk about HEADCOVERINGS as an issue that pertains to women in the Bible.  I'll begin by giving an overview of the first 10 chapters of 1 Corinthians, because context is king!  It is a mistake to approach a chapter of the Bible to interpret it without a thorough knowledge of what comes before and after it.  This is a complex passage and this will be a lengthy blog.  Grab your favorite cuppa and let's dig into God’s word. COMMENTARY OF 1 Corinthians 11 on HEAD COVERINGS The Apostle Paul spent the first four chapters of 1st Corinthians defending his apostleship given to him by the risen, Lord Jesus Christ.   Paul reminded the Corinthians that it was he who had begotten them through the gospel of Jesus Christ, and he told them to be followers of him as he followed Christ ( 4:15-16 ). He could say this because of his authority.   Paul spends the next two chapters (...
