I recently accepted God into my life, and found myself on your channel somehow. I already love your ADITW videos, and I think I'm going to love Ruth too!
I Think this passage shows that Naomi also didn't deny her grief or put up a mask she was real about it and now i'm asking myself how often do we put up a mask with people about our situations?
Bronwin Swart many always do it rather than cause strife but are determined to continue in their habits or addiction. I love her dearly but God has refused me to leave her in her time that she need and asks for my help. No need for me to ask Him. HE tells me secretly. Telepathically
You just spoke right into my heart. Thanks so much for the videos. They are so awesome! And it is so great you take the time to do this bible studies in RUclips. Some of us can't make it to a live bible study because our work schedule changes constantly, every week, so this helps a lot! Thanks again for doing this.
Thank you for this encouraging bible study-vlog! I always watch your vlogs (especially these bible study's)! I can't wait for the next ADITW! 😄🙌🏻 God bless you, and keep being awesome! 💪🏻
Wow Jon, that was Amazing! I've read this chapter many times in my life but never focused on the details like the last verse, you opened my eyes! God's working through you, keep encouraging people and keep being awesome :)
I had the NKJV version, if I had been studying on my own...i would have missed the ending. Thank you for this! song suggestion that always reminds me that I am not defined by my circumstances : My name is Victory - Jonathan Nelson.
What you said really hit home for me. I am in a very troublesome time in my life. I am bitter and defining everything based on this ONE incident. Everyone else agrees with you but my head and heart do not want to. I hope you have something else for me next week that will help me to clear this pain out of my heart.
Amazing word Jon 💕♥️ keep on doing what God has called you. You have encouraged me in my current situation. I am working as a nurse here in Uae and sometimes I just want to leave everything and just live simply or get by with my mother and sister back in PHilippines. All I ever want is just to be with my sister and mother and live a simple life. But I also believe that God has called me to serve the sick and the elderly and in Gods perfect time I will be with them again. Thanks God for the technology skype
Yay! So glad they're back! I missed them! They are always so encouraging! Glad I finally found a truly Godly channel where I can grow in my faith! So thanks Jon for doing these!
Thank you. Spot on! I have a loud know it all, non Christian friend. This friend is aggressive. & unpleasant to be around, except for very short periods of time. Several years ago, I felt God was leading me to be a better friend to her, spend more time with her. I looked up to Heaven, & said: Really God?? Really?? How am I going to do this? But I started in, calling & getting together. I got snotty criticizism, and "Expert" advice about everything. I finally had to shut it down for a while. Slowly waded back into those shark infested waters, & tried again. But honestly, not trying very hard. Your words have helped me to see that I must keep trying. God doesn't give up on me.
Ruth! Yesss! Something I need to cling onto is storing my treasures up in heaven, to live with heavenly values. Becuase lately all Christians want to talk about is the demonic, rather than focusing on God and the authority He has given us through Jesus. And all of that will bring God's blessings at harvest time... can't wait until next week. The ending of Ruth is my favorite!
I always found it very difficult to make myself read the bible even though I want to know more about god and the disciples, Jon thank you! You're truly using god's gifts to multiply and to glorify them. Through this series I'm better understanding the bible and gaining new found knowledge in the biblical stories. So thank you so so much! Love from Singapore :)
I feel I need to cling to my family. though it's terribly broken, I feel this deep gnawing in my soul to cling to it. Though it feels like nothing will ever change, and it feels like a hopeless situation; I shall cling. And I pray that GOD will show me the truth, The life and the way for me.
Including the verses during the cut would be helpful for those watching on an iPhone so we don't have to close out RUclips to go search online for them. ^^ Just making a suggestion. I don't always have a Bible handy and closing out to go read is work. XD
I'm currently studying this book with some other girls! It's been interesting to read up the cultural background and original Greek words used, including when Ruth "clings" to Naomi. The original Greek work used there is the same one used for marriage between Adam and Eve in genesis. ALSO-what do you think in regards to how Naomi and Elimelech leaving their home town to escape God's punishment of the famine (since it was a time where each "one did what was right in their own eyes"-including Noami and her husband) by escaping to Moab, which was known as a godless city. I know that in reading this Old Testament book it is often viewed as God punishing Noami with Elimelech's death because they were trying to escape his punishment on the Israelites as well as a continued wrath of "God's hand against" Naomi when after marrying her sons off to Moab women (godless women) they too then died. And she only decided to return to her home town when she heard the famine was over.
It really changed my view of Naomi when I looked up more into the context of what was being said. Not that we can point fingers at her-if anything (like you did) we can relate to her and her sinfulness. while aspiring Ruth, who was NOT one of God's "children" (an Israelite) but by her covenant to Naomi she also covenants herself to God and we see the glorious love of God when He fulfills Naomi's original request for His hand to be over them in vs. 9 (which-seeing that neither Orpah or Ruth were Israelites this was a HUGE favor/prayer for Naomi to ask of God!) and we see God's fulfillment of that throughout the rest of Ruth as Ruth also fulfills her promise to Naomi and God.
reading this made me think of the family tree that brought about the birth of Jesus. All the men and women were considered in my opinion to be outcasts and imperfect people. It shows me that God can use whomever He intends to use and it doesn't matter how many times you've felt or how many stupid mistakes you've made, His grace and love can change a person completely. King David and myself come to mind as I type :) Thank you for sharing this Christina :)
If you haven't already, can you please do a video on how to lead/plan a Bible study? I may be leading one on my campus this coming year and I could really use some advice. I'm new at this and I really like how you do yours.
Question for Jon: could it be possible that Ruth clung to Naomi because she felt she need Naomi to help herself grieve her own husbands loss or something of that nature and she wasn't completely thinking of Naomi? Was it just her way of coping?
Hey, um, can you guys please pray for me and my family? I have a feeling my moms boyfriend wants to leave but we don’t want him to.. I love him, he’s the dad I never had. I really don’t want him to go lord please don’t let him leave. I really think if he leaves then I’m going to do worse than when my mom and dad err together. (Sorry if this makes no sense I’m typing fast and I’m on the verge of tears)
I am not new to this channel, in fact it's about 3 weeks I am following you but it's the first time I watch a ADITW after you uploaded it. I like it! What ADITW stands for?
PREACH IT BRO! Exactly what I need 😪 God bless you man. I'd really appreciate if you pray for me to get good grades, the ones I need for uni. Thanks Jon!
"Oprah would have stayed " lol
It's true. :)
Cool. She Reads Truth just started their Ruth study too. Love it when that happens.
I'm a newbie and this already is encouraging my soul. Thx!
me too :)
Another amazing ADITW!!! I made the "Oprah"/"Orpah" mistake too😂😂
Hahahha me too 😂😂
Girl same😂
I recently accepted God into my life, and found myself on your channel somehow. I already love your ADITW videos, and I think I'm going to love Ruth too!
That's amazing! Welcome.
I'm actually smack dab in the middle of a season of establishing and finding rest in my identity in God. This is a great word. Very encouraging.

Thanks, Jon :) I love the book of Ruth!! I love this ADITW time!! And I LOVE THIS EPISODE!! THANK GOD!

I'm so excited for this book! I read it before, but I'm excited to see what new things i can learn from it. Thank you Jon!
I feel I need to cling to my family. though it's terribly broken, I feel this deep gnawing in my soul to cling to it. Though it feels like nothing will ever change, and it feels like a hopeless situation; I shall cling. And I pray that GOD will show me the truth, The life and the way for me.
love this jon, it was so encouraging! Ruth is one of my favourite chapters so i'm looking forward to the next video
Including the verses during the cut would be helpful for those watching on an iPhone so we don't have to close out RUclips to go search online for them. ^^ Just making a suggestion. I don't always have a Bible handy and closing out to go read is work. XD
So excited!!!! Today I actually start reading Ruth!

God bless you brother!
God bless you Jon😘

Appreciate you watching! Keep being awesome.
I needed this. Thank you

I love these bible studies 💗
The fact that Ruth even deserted her gods to follow the Lord is something that has been a wonder to me.
Awesome vlog dude! God bless!
Nicely done as always 👊🏽
Yo! Whats the significante of the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum to you Jon?
Thank you Jon! Now I know what I need to do.:)
I read "Oprah" at first too😂😂
If you're looking for another book to study, Esther maybe a good one.
That was soon good. i love your puns!!
Question for Jon: could it be possible that Ruth clung to Naomi because she felt she need Naomi to help herself grieve her own husbands loss or something of that nature and she wasn't completely thinking of Naomi? Was it just her way of coping?
Quite possible. Good thought.
Are you kidding me? I love this book. As do my mom, and my dad. haha
Same!!!
It blessed me God bless you
Yeah this study is right on time for me, I am excited for what God is going to reveal! Cool Beans!
You are awesome! :)
Trusting in God is the best decision ever. The Lord will never disappoint!

Hey, um, can you guys please pray for me and my family? I have a feeling my moms boyfriend wants to leave but we don’t want him to.. I love him, he’s the dad I never had.
