SCRIPTURE VERSES & TOPICS
Start with your favorite version of the Holy Bible and then find a topical Bible, concordance and dictionary that you like at your local Christian bookstore or online at your favorite web site. We recommend that you look for these Bible study helps in hardbound and interactive CD formats, so you can do easier searches on topics and scripture verses that relate to the needs of the person you are serving, such as: love, hope, forgiveness, adultery, anger, guilt, loneliness, fear, lust, loss, joy, peace, salvation, etc. If you prefer, you can link here to an online Bible to research the scripture verses you would like to use.
Need Help on What to Say or Which Scripture to Use?
Please use the online guidance link below as a resource to jump-start your thinking on what to say. Do your best to keep your spiritual encouragement conversational, simple and as brief as possible. Ask God to give you the words to use. He does answer prayer and don't worry about whether or not you have chosen the perfect thing to say or scripture to share. Your goal is to show God's unconditional love and that you sincerely care. Don't preach. Don't condemn. Do love.
