Jesus told us: "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Have you ever wondered how Jesus is with you today?

One way you might prayerfully consider is...
.. thru God's Word:

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind... The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." ~ John 1:1-4, 14

"Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." ~ Psalm 119:105

"How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word." ~ Psalm 119:9

"The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever." ~ Isaiah 40:8

"For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." ~ Hebrews 4:12

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock." ~ Matthew 7:24

"Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away." ~ Matthew 24:35

The whole Bible points us to Jesus! Take a moment and share in the comments when and where are you spending time with Jesus this summer?

Dear BSF,

I am reaching out to share some news. On May 31, former BSF Executive Director Rosemary Jensen closed her eyes to this world. While we miss her, we are united in celebrating her entry into heaven to join her Lord and Savior.

It was at a Bible Study Fellowship Leaders Retreat where I first heard Rosemary teach the Bible. Her singular focus—to magnify God—was unmistakable. She deeply desired biblical doctrine not only to be learned but also to be lived. The sovereignty of God was her repeated refrain, whether in a conversation, prayer, or teaching. Rosemary embodied a passion to commit without reservation to lead in the cause of Christ.

Rosemary led BSF for 20 years from 1980–2000. During her tenure as BSF’s second Executive Director, classes grew from 280 to 971 and The Life of Moses and Romans studies were added. But the totality of her impact cannot be measured this side of eternity. Rosemary was God’s unique leader with the vision, gifting, and personality necessary for BSF’s ministry expansion. To God be the glory for faithful leaders!

We remember that we study and serve in BSF today because others walked faithfully before us. We thank God for Rosemary Jensen and her shaping influence on the ministry of BSF. Please join us in praying for her family.

By His Grace and for His Glory,
Hollie Roberts
Executive Director | CEO, Bible Study Fellowship
