How the Study Works

Everyday Objects is a Bible study that uses visual association with objects we see in our daily life to memorize God's word. Very simply:
1. You see an object
2. A word comes to mind (any word, not just 'Spiritual' words), 3. Using a Bible Concordance, you find & study a verse in the Bible that has that word understanding the context & application to your life.
4. Everytime you see that object, you try to recall the verse or the Biblical application to your life.

The study uses things we see everyday to guide us into and remind us of God's Word.
Example:
When you see a coffee pot, you may think of the word morning or cup. You use a condordance to look up verses with the word morning or cup & study the verse--trust me, both those words are in the Bible. You pick one verse & do a study on that verse. Then, through the week, every time you see a coffee pot you try to remember the verse and application. Before you know it, you'll have the verse memorized! The more objects you do, the more verses you'll remember and the more of God's Word you'll be hiding in your heart & mind! It's that easy.

Week 2 - Laundry

Word: Clothes, folded
Verse: John 20:5-8 "And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed."
Facts: The body could not have been stolen because the linens were neatly folded! John's comprehension of the resurrection at the site of the clothes.
Spiritual: The reality of Jesus resurrection; the details God attends to. The rest of chapter 20 tells about Jesus' patience with the disciples in helping them realize the reality of his resurrection.
Application: I don't think I'll look at a pile of my kids clothes on the floor or fold them without remembering this passage and try to comprehend the reality of the resurrection. He is not dead, He is risen!
