Bible Sunday 11/3: Beggar at the Gate

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 10:1-18. How do our times qualify as what KJV calls times of trouble? What’s to be done about it? Who are these people, in everyday 2024 terms, that KJV calls the wicked? What’s to be done about them?

Isaiah 8:1-22. God uses Isaiah’s family life to better equip him for kingdom work. How has God done this for me?-

James 5:1-12. Why does Jesus put so high a value on patience? If Jesus comes back today, what do I want him to find me doing?

Luke 16:19-31. Does my church put as much importance on heaven and hell as Jesus did? Does my church put as much importance on street beggars as Jesus did? Action point?
