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 74:1-23. Verse 8, all synagogues burned. Why should Jew-hatred concern me as a Christian? What am I doing about it?
Leviticus 12:1-8. Is my church as pro-baby as were God’s people in Bible times? What’s at stake?
Acts 4:13-22. Verse 13, by what marks in my everyday way of life would others notice that I have “been with Jesus”?
John 18:12-18. Related, reviewing my experiences of the last week or two, when have I faced a choice between confessing Jesus or not confessing him? How can I do better when the next test comes?
