Psalms 37:1-40. Verse 5 KJV, in the fullest meaning of committing myself to God, what part of that have I truly done up to now, and what have I yet to do? What are the stakes?
Isaiah 19:1-25. Verses 11-14, wise fools. How is America disserved by this type in its supposed elites today, the church included? What is my church doing about it? My role?
Revelation 1:1-11. Amid the turmoil of 2020, if Jesus dictated a letter to the church I attend and to me personally, what are some assets and liabilities he might point out? Action point?
