No matter how peculiar
or overwhelming
your situation is,
the Word of God
has the answer.
To utilize the God's Word
in your life,
you need to study it
and meditate on it.

Personally,
I have a hard time
studying God's Word.
I believe God gave me
these study questions to
help people like me.
The questions are simple,
interesting and
thought provoking.
By answering
these questions,
you will not become
a theologian,
but you will be encouraged
to study God's Word and
relate it to your life.
The ultimate goal is
that you will be motivated
to apply the Word
in your life.

Do not merely
listen to the word,
and so deceive
yourselves.
Do what it says.
James 1:22

Each week,
I will post new
set of questions.
If you wish,
you may send in
your answers for me
to post.
