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 42:1-11. Verses 3-5, what am I shedding tears about today? What am I asking God to do about it?
Leviticus 6:1-13. What is lost as today’s version of religion makes much less of sin, guilt, forgiveness, and atonement than was the case centuries ago, millennia ago?
Ezekiel 41:1-26. Related, why do God’s people nowadays pay so much less attention to beauty, grandeur, spectacle, and sanctity in our places of worship than they did in times past? What’s the consequence?
John 15:8-16:4. What should I be doing today and each day to prepare myself for the rising hostility against God and God’s people? How can I use this as an opportunity to witness more boldly for Jesus?
