As women leaders, it is easy to try to cure the spiritual needs of everyone else, but neglect our own spiritual needs. Our personal walk with Christ should be our first priority - if we are not learning as we go, we will have nothing left to teach. Charles Stanley gives some advice for all Christians who need a spiritual check-up. If you can say yes to each question, then you are on the right track. If not, keep striving! Ten Ways to Measure Your Spiritual Growth 1.Do you have a hunger to know God and His truth on an intimate level? 2.Do you have an increasing awareness of sin? 3.Do you seek sincere repentance and the desire to become more Christ-like? 4.Do you view spiritual battles--trials, temptation, and failures as avenues of growth instead of obstacles? 5.Do you have a desire to be used by God in the lives of others? 6.Do you have a desire for godly obedience and commitment regardless of the personal cost? 7.Do you have an increasing faith? 8.Do you have a hunger for private devotion and prayer? 9.Do you have a desire to please God by making decisions based on His will and not on personal wants? 10.Do you have a vibrant love for God and an awareness of His presence? All of these factors indicate spiritual growth. >From "Away to Arabia" by Charles Stanley. In Touch. January 1999: 4-7.

This is an idea that came out of my desire to give the perfect Christmas gift to a special friend in another state. The friend was having difficulty finding a Bible study group, so I decided to give her an electronic Bible Study, and it's working Great!!! In fact, many women who have heard about it, are now doing the same thing. It's a great way for long distance friends to stay in touch and bonded together in study of God's Word. Here's how we began: I purchased 2 copies of "Whispers of Hope" by Beth Moore, sending one copy to the out-of-state friend. We choose a day to begin, and a plan that worked for both of us. We read the daily material and scriptures. Then, send an e-mail with our thoughts and what we have learned. It is awesome! We have become closer in our friendship as we have studied prayer. We feel more open and honest to share. It's much easier to type from the heart than it is to speak from the heart for many women. We are already seeing answers to our prayers, and growth in our desire to be on our knees. I pray that other women will be able to benefit from this electronic Bible study idea. Deb Douglas Little Rock, AR bamadeb@swbell.net 7. wmLIBRARY: Two Resources from Lifeway Two great resources for your women's ministry library. Life Lessons from Women in the Bible Whether wives, working women, mothers, or leaders, the women in the Bible represent a rich heritage of faith and service. Life Lessons from Women in the Bible is a fascinating look at the lives of more than 30 different women in the Bible. Each day includes inspiration and the moving story of a variety of Bible women including: Abigail, Sarah, Rebekah, Eve, Hannah, Miriam, Deborah, Tamar, Mary Magdalene, Lydia, Priscilla, and many more. Includes leader helps for facilitating small-group discussion. In My Father's House: Women Relating to God as Father by Mary Kassian Explores how a woman’s image of God the Father is often based on her experiences (or lack of experiences) with her earthly father. In My Father’s House examines these attitudes and experiences with a woman’s earthly father in light of what the Word says about the fatherhood of God. Six-week study includes leader helps.
