Hey! Hope all of yall are having a great week. I just wanted to post some stuff about bible study earlier tonight. For those of you who were not there I will explain what we did to catch yall up. Tonight we watched a short clip of Batman Begins. The scene we watched was when he and a couple of girls were at the hotel and he ran into his old friend, Rachael. We watched the scene until right after she said "It's not what you are inside, it's what you do that defines you!" We focused on this line, and more importantly James 2: 14-17. This is the passage where James tells us that faith without action is dead. We made several conclusions: Always be prepared; someone is always watching you; have faith WITH action; and more!
I really agree with the point that we always need to be prepared. Woody made a great point...he used Jesus' parable. We don't know when the bridegroom will come bringing us to the great banquet. We always need to be living righteously. Adding on to his point, it reminds us that we need to be aware that someone is always watching us; looking up to us. We need to be an example all the time.
I really like tonight's lesson. It is kind of a wake up call for me, and maybe some of yall. We need to act like Christians 24/7, in school and out. We need to overcome the pressures of school and peer pressure and be the Christians we said we are. We need to get the log out of our own eye before getting the speck in others!!!!

Hey I like tonight's lesson to...we should be lights to the world everyday and not be dim.(Matthew 5:14) Faith without works is useless. We can NOT have faith that we are goin to get a good grade on a test if we dont have works...which is studying for that test. Likewise we need to study or obey the Gospel to enter in Heaven. We need to have works and not just faith!! Or we will not pass God's test!!
i agree with you totally. God's judgment will be fair, but will we be ready. I pray that we will. All we need to do is obey everything the bible says and walk the walk and not just talk the talk
Well both of you guys will know that I definitely agree with the post. You guys know that I've preached like a million lessons on practicing what we preach.
