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 144:1-15. Verse 3, what is man? If a teenager, unsure of God, asked me this, how would I respond? Is my church clear on the difference between biblical anthropology and worldly anthropology?

Romans 10:14-21. Verse 14, related, how shall they hear without a preacher? If a close friend in Christ challenged me to take it up a notch, what would I do?
Matthew 17:14-21. Can it be that my faith in Jesus Christ doesn’t even amount to a mustard seed? Who is my accountability partner for such hard questions? Action point?
