“Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another (Galatians 5:19-26).”
Kay Arthur is an international Bible teacher, four-time Gold Medallion award-winning author, and founder of Precept Ministries International.
Kay and her husband, Jack, were serving as missionaries in Mexico in the late 1960s when medical problems forced them to return to their hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee. There Kay led a Bible study for teenagers in their living room. Soon the Bible study started meeting in a barn and attracting adults too. Soon after, Jack left his radio career to help expand his wife’s ministry into Precept Ministries International.
Hundreds of thousands of people are reached internationally through the "Precept upon Precept" inductive Bible studies series. In addition, Kay Arthur hosts daily and weekly television programs which air on over 900 stations in 30 countries around the world.
Kay also founded Transform Student Ministries. Transform Student Ministries is an equipping outreach of Precept Ministries International to high school and college age students. They exist to fulfill Precept’s mission and vision to each new generation: To establish people in God’s Word.
