Studying this morning's four readings from the St. James Daily Devotional Guide (click to subscribe), I examined myself with these questions. Where is your self-examination leading today?
Psalms 27:1-14. Verse 4, for me is God a way of getting what I want, or is he what I want? What can I do today to draw near him just for his own sake?
Jeremiah 37:1-21. Jeremiah arrested for treason. In what form do we see denial and wishful thinking by America’s leadership elites today? What can my church do about it? My role?
Romans 15:14-21. Paul takes the gospel into new mission fields. What’s my elevator speech (20 seconds) if someone asks me about Jesus?
Matthew 18:15-20. Verse 19, how strong is my practice of praying in agreement with one or more partners? Why does it matter? Action point?
