What
is Whole Wheat International?
Our Bible study group's name was inspired by Jesus' parable in Matthew
13:24-30. In these verses, He instructs us to grow as wheat, not
tares, so that we can lead productive, kind, helpful lives and be included
in His harvest of the righteous.
We are a non-denominational group of friends devoted to Biblical understanding. Our group started around a kitchen table over 25 years ago and has grown to include this Web site; a Bible study newsletter, which is distributed internationally; and Bible study groups in the metropolitan areas of Minneapolis / St. Paul, San Diego and Houston.
Whole Wheat International exists to make ready a people prepared to meet the Lord (Luke 1:17). Prepared people must know and understand God's Word. They must know God's Will so they can do God's Will in their lives and not be foolish (Rom. 12:2; Eph. 5:17). They can walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects and build godly character (good fruit) by making all their works or deeds acceptable before the Lord.
Whole Wheat International is also helping people to study His word and increase their true knowledge of God (Col. 1:10). The Bible study is for teaching, for reproof, for correction and for training in righteousness. How can you equip yourself for every good work without studying the Bible, when it is God's word that explains these good works (2 Tim. 3:16-17)? The goal of Whole Wheat International is to provoke others to more love and good works (Heb. 10:24).
God is waiting for many to become doers of His word so He can begin to bless them, change them and give them His new nature (Gal. 4:19). He wants to give us His divine nature (2 Peter 1:4). Jesus came that you may have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10). If this is not true in your life now, it can be. Test what you read in this Bible study by putting it into practice in your daily life. You will know the truth is the truth when you practice it toward others by serving them (John 3:21, 7:17; Matt. 23:11).

How to benefit
most from this Bible study web site
As a diligent student of the Bible, you will want to make sure the Bible
really says what each study on this site says. Always remember to
prove all things with God's word - as the Bereans did, according to Acts
17:11. They "received the word with great eagerness,
examining the Scriptures daily, to see whether these things were so."
First read each Bible study all the way through without looking up the Scriptures. Then read the study again, this time looking up the Scriptures. In your Bible, highlight or mark each verse you look up so you can easily find it later. This method of study has been time-tested by numerous Bible students and will enable you to learn your Bible in the quickest and most efficient manner .
As you continue to apply God's truth in your life, you will be prepared to give a good answer to others who ask you about the changes they see in your life. You might consider starting a Bible study group. You will be ready to share the truth with your friends. Perhaps they also could be spiritually nourished by this information (2 Tim. 2:15, King James Version).
Seek the truth daily by studying the Bible. Don't let Satan devour you because you lack a thorough knowledge of God's word (Hosea 4:6). We hope and pray you will benefit from the many decades of research that went into the preparation of these Bible studies. May God bless you as you study and then apply them in your life.
If you have any questions about the Bible or Bible Study Site, please don't hesitate to contact us.
