Psalms 90:1-17. Verses 4, 10, 12, 15, how can I keep from being tyrannized by the passage of earthly time? How am I benefited by learning to see my days and years as God sees them?
Jeremiah 52:1-34. We bid farewell to the brave, unyielding prophet Jeremiah. After two months in his company, what lessons can I learn about the human condition and the duty God expects of me?
Matthew 23:1-22. When have I behaved pharisaically and hypocritically? What did I learn? Present application?
Matthew 23:23-39. Verse 37, if I and my family and friends would gather as close to Jesus as little chicks to their mother hen, what protection would we obtain and what possibilities would be ours?
