Privately

Before you begin your Bible study, if you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ,
be sure you have named your sins privately to God the Father.
 
If we confess our (known) sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us
 our (known) sins and to cleanse us from all (unknown, or forgotten sin)
unrighteousness.  (1 John 1:9).
 
 
"God is with thee in all that thou doest."
Genesis 21:22

Thank you, Lord, for leading me this far. Give me your directions for today
so that I may walk in your path for me.
In Christ name I pray

Truth

The importance of Bible doctrine cannot be overemphasized. Bible doctrine is the body of teaching drawn from a literal interpretation of the Scriptures--the standard for truth.
Bible doctrine provides spiritual nourishment for the Christian.

"Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God."
Matthew 5:8

Captive

See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive
philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles
of this world rather than on Christ.
Colossians 2:8
 
 
"Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry and He shall say,
Here  I am."
Isaiah 58:9

Crisis

Moses believed the Lord in the crisis!  He  trusted  the Lord
moment by moment. Moses believed it when He said, "Do not fear!
Stand by and see the salvation of the Lord which He will accomplish
for you today" (Ex. 14:13).
 
For the believer today, Moses presents a portrait in patience and endurance.
 
 
" Be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy
God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."
Joshua 1:9
 
When I feel all alone, Father help me to remember that you
are with me and I have nothing to fear.
In Christ name I pray

On Friday December 31, 2010 I started "Bible with Question and Answers."
