consider myself blessed by this. When Daddy pastored churches, all of us children were there, sitting on the same bench with mama. Mama would
sing specials in the churches he pastored. Her favorite song was Just One Rose Will Do. Revivals sometimes lasted for 2-3 weeks at a time. The
Holy Spirit lead them to last longer into the night
and wed not get home until 1:00 in the morning.
I can remember one time it hadnt rained in
months. The pastor at Bizzell Grove Pentecostal
Holiness Church at that time, called the church
folks together at noon to pray for rain. I distinctly
remember the saints of God coming with their
umbrellas to pray! When we left the church that
day, it began to rain as we made our way back
home. WOW! What faith those ol men and women
of God had! [Matthew 7:7]
Mama and daddy taught us to treat people like
we want to be treated, respect your elders, hold the

BIBLE STUDY
Often people ask me about my personal Bible study. I have been asked is there is a certain
way? What is your routine? And I always tell people that everyone has their own recipe on
how a Bible study works best for them, but the most important ingredient is your
very own, personal relationship with Jesus.
Once you have accepted Him into your heart, you begin living a life with His Holy Spirit
inside of you, guiding you, instructing you, teaching you, disciplining you, loving you, correcting you, forgiving you... the list goes on. Acknowledging His sovereignty and fully
opening your mind, heart and soul to what He wants for you to hear and read is the start of
a good study. (Whether yours is early morning, lunch hour or bedtimefind the right time
for you and Jesus. Everyones recipe will be different.)
Bible teacher, Beth Moore says, True intimacy with God always brings humility. Be willing
to humble yourself, be willing to be corrected, be willing to be loved. Let of all of the
walls break down around you, let all of the strongholds that the enemy has held against you
just break away and let Jesus light, His love and His Truth soak into every ounce of you.
Priscilla Shrirer once described her quiet time with Jesus as if she were a little girl with her
chin in both of her hands eagerly listening to what her Heavenly Father was telling
her as He bent over to her level spoke directly to her. Thats exactly what you are doing during your daily Bible study. Do it now... place both of your hands under your chin and read
His Word. Its so exciting to see what else we will learn about our Father.
That personal relationship with your very own Creator serves so many purposes
throughout so many seasons of your life. Therefore, your Bible study time may look different
than mine because He has placed you on a different path for His Will. Or maybe our paths
look a lot alike, but you can rest assure of this one thingour destination is the same. One
day sister, I will see you in glory. And then, we will all be singing the same songs of praise
and worshipping Jesus together in unity.
Until then, our road maps may look different on this side of Jordan but our goals are the
same. Always seeking His face, desiring for His will to be done and to plant seeds in others
so that we may also see them in Heaven. Destination Known! PTL!
But I would like to share a few things that I do during my own Bible study in case you were
looking for some tips or suggestions to help get started....

Ephesians 2:10
insert your name is Gods handiwork, created
For ________
in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God
insert your name
prepared in advance for________to
do.
Rewrite that three more times on
more index cards. Hang them with a
little scotch tape all around your daily
routine where you can be reminded.
On the back door on your way out of
the house each morning, on the washing
machine, in your cars sun visor, on the
bathroom mirror. Keep it real! Remember
that your personal relationship with Jesus
is weaved in and out of the daily rhythms
of LIFE. Seek Him in everything you do,
everything you think, everything you say.
from me to you
Great big God comes first and thats why
you will always find His Word, His Scripture,
His Holy Spirit-lead thoughts just for you on
the cover and throughout. My prayer is that
this newsletter/magazine always lifts Him up
and not myself or the ones who contribute to
it. Therefore, this section titled From Me to
You will always be found in the back, not up
front. Seems strange? I know, but heyits a
great feeling to be set apart.
It has been laid upon my heart to gather
writings from fellow believing gals, fill up the
pages with His Word straight from scripture
and to glorify His name. A collectionif
you willof ideas, news, articles, tips and
reminders to help edify fellow believers and
to plant seeds into the lives of lost souls and
bring them to JESUS!
This publication is not-for-profit, offers
writings from gracious volunteers and, for
now, will not be professionally copy edited.
(It will, however, be professionally designed,
wink wink.) But on a serious note, lets just
go ahead and acknowledge that you will find
flaws, an occasional grammatical error, but
know without doubt it has been put together
for the good of our Creator and to share His
light. We are not perfect writers, editors,
photographers or designers. But HIS work is
perfect and always without flaw.
At a fall revival at my home church in 2013, the guest speaker noted that we need to always be looking for Jesus...
always be on watch as to how we can serve Him, glorify Him and tell others about Him. That Jesus needs to be in everything we do! Light bulb!
I was given the idea that since there are many references to God and
Jesus using other words throughout the Bible, it would be neat to have
Jesus on every page of Gals Set Apart. So, you are challenged to find
Jesus on each page. Knowing that you will recognize a lot of the references, but maybe there are some that will be new to you, thus giving you
more reason to dive into His Word and find out
more about Him. I used to think that being a
Christian meant that when I did my Bible
studies alone I was to look for ways to apply that days scripture study to my life.
Of course this is so! But also, we must
be willing to simply learn more about
God himself! Its not always about us,
is it gals?
With the ongoing prayer that this publication will grow and eventually reach more people than imaginable, I figure some folks might
inquire who is this girl who obeyed Gods
call to start GSA (Gals Set Apart)? And, I
suppose its somewhat helpful to learn about
the folks behind the scenes but more importantly I would love to hear from you on how
this publication has affected your day-to-day
trials and situations. So, with that in mind, I
have created a simple website where you can
learn about upcoming events in N.C.; up-todate global and local news; last minute topics
that did not make it into the publication; more
about the publications circulation and mailing calendar; our contributors bios and an occasional blog that I may write. Id love to have
you stop by it and say hey to us, tell us your
thoughts and leave the site feeling revived and
reminded that your Heavenly Father loves
youmaybe even take away a few things to
pass along to a friend. When we listen to His
Spirit, its amazing to watch that ripple affect
as He touches the lives of those around us.
Bless you my friend and sister in Christ,
Karen Rogers Smith

Silver Threads
By Lida M. Rogers
LIDA M. ROGERS
This piece is a reprint from Silver
Threads, a home-missions newsletter
originally published in February 1999,
written by the late Lida M. Rogers. She
began her newsletter in the 1990s. Issues included encouragement, prayers,
Bible studies, a collection of her poems
and, of course, loaded with scripture
references.
FUN FACT: Lida Rogers was my grandmother. Born in 1925, she lived her entire life dedicated to the Lord and gaining souls for Him. She was a licensed
minister in the Pentecostal Holiness
denomination and preached more than
half her life. She entered the gates of
Glory in 2005. I pray that this section
of GSA will be a tribute to and a revival
of her home-missions newsletter.
*I have made only a few punctuation
corrections, but have left everything
the way she had originally worded it.
