Bible Sunday 10/16: In Memoriam

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 116:1-19. Verse 15, who that has died in faith shall I lovingly remember today? How can I honor their loved ones and legacy?

Nehemiah 3:1-32. Honor roll of the builders who repaired Jerusalem’s wall. What shall I labor on today that will outlive me and glorify God? What endeavor is falsely attractive, unworthy of my labor?

Galatians 1:1-24. Verses 6-12, what subtle but fatal distortions of Jesus’ true gospel are now targeting me, my church, and all Christians? How shall I combat them today?

Luke12:35-40. Related, keeping watch for Jesus the bridegroom. What mental and physical posture must I maintain? What distractions must I resist? What’s at stake?
