Dr. Bruce Bickel

Join us on Tuesdays as we study the Letter of James, led by Dr. Bruce Bickel dealing with the subject of Christian maturity. From Dr. Bickel, “We discovered James’ insides into how we are to manage trials on the outside.  Then we will learn how we to manage temptations on the inside. Both are critical for us to come to maturity in Christ.”

This is a Zoom @ Noon Bible Study. Please read this short Letter prior to each Study. Click to read Bruce Bickel’s Series Outline.

Bruce underwent surgery to replace his right shoulder on April 13th. His recovery will be rough and challenging. For the time being Bruce has asked Doug Wicker to be our teacher. Bruce will move into a nursing rehabilitation center on Monday, April 26, 2021. Please join us in prayer for Bruce and Becky Bickel in their recovery. We pray that God would restore Bruce’s health.

Bruce has read from the “Valley of Vision” which are prayers of the Puritans. Faith and the World, page 196-197:

O LORD,
The world is artful to entrap, approaches in fascinating guise, extends many a gilded bait, presents many a charming face.
Let my faith scan every painted bauble, and escape every bewitching snare in a victory that overcomes all things.
In my duties give me firmness, energy, zeal, devotion to thy cause, courage in thy name, love as a working grace, and all commensurate with my trust.
Let faith stride forth in giant power, and love respond with energy in every act.
I often mourn the absence of my beloved Lord whose smile makes earth a paradise, whose voice is sweetest music, whose presence gives all graces strength.
But by unbelief I often keep Him outside my door.
Let faith give entrance that He may abide with me for ever.

Thy Word is full of promises, flowers of sweet fragrance, fruit of refreshing flavor when culled by faith.
May I be made rich in its riches, be strong in its power, be happy in its joy, abide in its sweetness, feast on its preciousness, draw vigour from its manna.
Lord, increase my faith.
