AFTER FOLLOWING CHRIST FOR OVER 20 YEARS, REBECCA, A DANCE STUDIO OWNER, ENTERED WHAT SHE DESCRIBED AS A “DARK SEASON.” “I HAD BECOME SPIRITUALLY LAZY AND SELF SUFFICIENT,” REBECCA REVEALS, “I WASN’T GROWING IN MY FAITH AND MADE CHOICES OPPOSITE OF WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES.”
Rebecca realized she needed to return to studying God’s Word and she remembered that her pastor had recommended Blue Letter Bible.
One of the Blue Letter Bible resources that brought Rebecca from this time of despair was Bob Hoekstra's daily devotional, Day by Day by Grace.
Rebecca explains,
Pastor Bob pounded again and again on the fact that grace is the only means of salvation,”.
Pastor Hoekstra's clear teaching of the Scriptures helped Rebecca grasp that much of her dark path detour was caused by her poor understanding of grace. Rebecca shares, “I was trying to be sanctified by good works.”
Rebecca adds,
Now, I know it was God's grace that let me fail in my own strength, in order to show me that my sufficiency is in Christ alone. That's when God showed me grace and gave me peace!
Today, Rebecca not only uses Blue Letter Bible to continue her own personal Bible studies, but she also uses it to help others. Currently, Rebecca is discipling her middle school and high school dance students about God's grace.
When you give to Blue Letter Bible, you are providing valuable resources to godly leaders like Rebecca. She thinks her students will need four years to complete the lessons in the Day by Day by Grace series. Like dance, fluid understanding takes time. In time, not only will her students' young bodies move gracefully on the dance floor but soon their souls will be moved by the beautiful movements of God's grace.
