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!

Welcome to the Women's Weekly Bible Challenge!

By
HELLO, and Welcome to the Women's Weekly Bible Challenge! I'm Lisa Ann.   I invite you to join me each week as I study through the Scriptures to find out  EVERYTHING  that the Bible has to say about WOMEN...  Yes, I do mean  everything:   Every reference; every woman; every tiny, superficial detail and every tremendous, deep truth that the Bible has to show us about Women. CURIOUS? Great! The topic of  Women  in the Bible is not often covered from the pulpit.  It is such a specific topic that at least  half  the congregation would not find it at all interesting.  But I know  you  will be interested to discover some of the deep truths waiting to be brought to light as we study  Women  in Scripture. Here are some of the upcoming studies I have planned for you:       Women Teaching : A look at every verse in the Bible that refers to women teaching.       A Bible ...

Finding a Bible Reading Plan that Works!

By
  Hello and welcome to the Women’s Weekly Bible Challenge! I’m Lisa Ann Spencer. Today, our challenge is to find a Bible reading plan that works! Q:   What is the best way to approach the Bible when reading or studying?  A:  We must go to the Bible for our answer. 👇 1 Timothy 4:13 Till I come, give attendance to reading , to exhortation, to doctrine. One of the best approaches to reading the Bible is simply to do it!  Give attendance to reading. This passage from the letter to Timothy is a Pastoral Epistle , but do not think that it applies only to pastors.   Notice that the previous verse tells Timothy that he is an example for all believers: 12  Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity . We can and should make application of this doctrinal letter written to Timothy by giving attendance to reading. 👉Another approach to  Bible re...

BARRENNESS Rightly Divided, Part 2

By
Welcome to the Women’s Weekly Bible Challenge!  I’m Lisa Ann Spencer. Today’s study is the conclusion of the two-part series on Barrenness.  We will consider what the Apostle Paul writes about Barrenness , but first we will review the Challenge Homework. If you took the Challenge last week, you may have discovered WHY God abruptly changed the dispensation from Israel to the Gentiles.   Acts chapter 7 is a critical pivot point in Israel’s history! The nation of Israel’s early history began when God called Abraham out of all people on the earth to make him a great nation ( Genesis 12:2 ).   The majority of the Old Testament is about ISRAEL. They were a special people to God for 4,000 years. They entered a covenant relationship with God at Mount Sinai with the giving of the Law, which included blessings and curses. Where were the Gentiles?  God gave the Gentiles up as we are told in Romans 1:24-26 . Gentiles were given up to uncleanness, to our own lusts,...
