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!

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 ...

When Jesus Speaks to Women - Part 9

By
Welcome to the Women’s Weekly Bible Challenge! I’m Lisa Ann Spencer. Today is part 9 our series When Jesus Speaks to Women . Grab your journal and turn in your Bible to John Chapter 8. CONTEXT Jesus was in the Temple during the Feast of Tabernacles ( John 7:2,14 ), teaching the people.   They were offended by the Truth that He spoke ( John 8:40, 45 ). John 7:19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me? Q: Why did the Jews want to kill Jesus this time? A:   During the previous Feast Day, Jesus had healed a man on the Sabbath ( John 5:8-9 ).   Because of this the Jews sought to slay Jesus ( John 5:16 ). The Jews at the Temple were divided in their opinion of Jesus because they were ignorant of Scripture ( John 7:40-43 ). Clickhere to read John 8:1-11 JESUS SPEAKS TO THE WOMAN CAUGHT IN ADULTERY In order to tempt Jesus (by causing Him to break Roman law, John 18:31 ), the scribes and Pharisees brou...

Part 3 - When the Holy Spirit Speaks to Women

By
Hello and welcome to the Women’s Weekly Bible Challenge! I’m Lisa Ann Spencer. This is part 3 of our series, When the Holy Spirit Speaks to Women . Let’s jump right into the book of Acts with a REVIEW of last week. We left off with the stoning of Stephen, which was a turning point in Israel’s history . Afterwards there was a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, so the disciples SCATTERED into the REGIONS of Samaria and Judaea, except for the 12 Apostles who remained in Jerusalem.   Philip the evangelist went into Samaria preaching the gospel of the kingdom.   Many Jewish men and women believed the message and were water baptized.   We read in Acts11:19 , that some of the disciples traveled as far as Phenice, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to Jews only . [See the previous blog for all the Scripture references to confirm these things for yourself.] 👉Note: There are 3 references to Phenice in Scripture: Acts 11:19, 15:3 and 27:12.   B...
