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.

Review Lessons 1 - 10/Most Memorable Lessons

Hi ladies!
Well, for me the most memorable lesson was the one with the picture of the laundry. The verse I studied was John 20:5-8 when Jesus rose from the tomb and the linens were remaining. I truly cannot look at my kids clothes on their bedroom floor or the folded laundry the same again! Praise the Risen Lord!

Mirror

Word: Reflect
Verse: "And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect theLord's glory are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." 2 cor 3:18
Study: The root of the word Glory means thoughts or opinions. In this case, the thoughts or opinions of God are true and changeless. "God's opinion marks the true value of things as they appear to the eternal mind, and God's favorable opinion s true glory." (The Complete Word Study Dictionary by Spiros Zodhiates") The true glory of man, is to return to the original condition which God intended when He made man--that restoration/transformation can take place through Christ alone!
Application: If we are honest with Christ (through confession) we see Jesus' revealed in his splendor, can ascribe to Him His full recognition, and can be returned to our original purpose--being in relationship with, being filled by, and reflecting His love in our lives.
