Bible Sunday 2/12: Faith Alone

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 106:1-48. Verses 37 and 38, what is my church doing about the abortion holocaust ongoing in our country today? My role?

Genesis 43:1-34. Rising tension surrounds the brothers’ second trip to Egypt. When have I had to teach someone a prolonged and difficult lesson? How did God show up?

Romans 3:27-31. Are my thoughts and actions as a follower of Jesus guided by faith alone, or by some mixture of faith and legalism? What is to be done?

Matthew 12:38-42. Verse 40, Jesus foretells his death, burial, and resurrection. How does this address the big challenges dominating my life right now?
