Ruth, Ep. 4

Are you wandering? Have you made your home in the far country, distant from the Lord? Naomi was a wanderer as well, but she didn’t stay far from God. His invitation is a simple one. "Come home."

Have you experienced the Lord’s discipline? It’s painful in the moment—yet it’s always for your good. Naomi learned this lesson in the book of Ruth. Through discipline, God drew her back home. Today, learn more about God’s redemptive discipline.

When trials come, are you tempted to escape? Elimelech and Naomi tried to run from famine by fleeing to Moab, but this wasn’t God’s best for them. Nancy tells you more about the consequences of escapism.

Do you worry your past is too messy to be used by God? Do you look at the world and wonder how anything good could come from what you see? Ruth likely had similar questions, but God used her life to light the darkness. Your life can be a light, too.

Does your life feel messy, uncertain, exhausting, broken? You’re not alone. Every woman has hard chapters in her story—and every woman needs God to step into those chapters with redeeming love.

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth was married to Robert for a little over ten years. At the funeral service for Robert, Nancy reflected on his life and his sweet love for her and for the Lord. Hear some of what she shared.

When you step into eternity, how will others remember you? You can think about that as you listen to friends and family of Robert Wolgemuth remember his life and honor his God.

Our English Bible didn’t fall from heaven. Nope! It’s the fruit of long years of sacrifice and careful translation work instead. The result is a treasure worth cherishing every day.

In the 1500s, a brilliant scholar named William Tyndale was condemned to death. His crime? Translating the Bible from Greek and Hebrew into English.

Historically, if you owned an English Bible in Britain, you could be jailed or killed. As you study how we got the English Bible—through the sacrifice of faithful men—are you grateful for the copies on your shelf? Nancy invites you to be!
