Psalms 82:1-8. Verses 3 and 4, what specifically is God moving me to do for the poor and needy at this sacred season of the year?
Isaiah 34:1-17. Verse 8, the day of the Lord’s vengeance. Am I, as a Christian, on the so-called right side of history?
Revelation 11:1-10. The beast kills God’s two witnesses. Sodom and Egypt seem to have won. As conditions worsen for Christians, how shall I prepare?
Luke 1:1-4. If I believe the scriptural record of Jesus, not just with probability but with certainty, how am I benefitted?
