From Patient to Bible Study
I’m a family physician. Things were going as usual for me one day when I entered a patient exam room. What happened next took me by surprise. I had seen a couple I’ll call Bill and Sue several times before, but this time after addressing their medical needs, they had more questions for me.
“I’ve been watching some religious programming on television that has made me frustrated,” Sue said. “It seems like most of what I am hearing is not biblical. What do you think is going on?”
What an open door!
I felt like the Lord just dropped the whole thing in my lap. I told her that I had some Bible studies on Daniel and Revelation that I would love to have her examine for biblical accuracy. “Would you like to look them over?” I asked.
“Absolutely!” she responded. I handed Sue the first lesson in the set as they left the office.
Soon Bill and Sue returned for a follow up appointment. After the check-up, we reviewed the Bible lesson they had completed at home.
We repeated this again at the next visit and the next. I adjusted the schedule to allow for extra time for the Bible study at no extra charge.
Although Sue was the one who was completing the lessons, Bill said he enjoyed our discussions. As you can see, God had his hand in this. I am praying that the Holy Spirit will continue to lead this couple as they search for truth. I feel blessed to study with them.
There are many people out there who have questions about what is going on in the world. It’s a privilege to share with people like Bill and Sue who are hungering to know more.
