Bible Saturday 10/12: Polluted with Blood

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, child sacrifice then and now. What is my church doing about America’s ongoing abortion holocaust? My role?

Ezra 9:1-15. Ezra confesses to God on behalf of all the Israelites. Is my practice of confession as faithful and devout as it should be?

II Corinthians 13:1-14. Verse 5, by what attitudes and actions can I make it clear to others today that Jesus Christ is in me?

Luke 12:22-34. Verse 32, how shall I go about seeking the kingdom of God more avidly today than I did yesterday? How shall I go about storing up treasure in heaven?
