4:1-12 - The temptation of Jesus. He had a Biblical answer for every temptation. We need to be the same. No matter what comes our way, we should be able to respond from the scriptures with a defense.
5:8 - "Go away from me Lord, for I am a sinful man!" Peter said this to Christ. I should be saying this constantly. The closer I get to Him, the more I realize my own depravity.
6:45 - Scary. My mouth speaks from the overflow of my heart. It is the stuff that I say in secret, or just to Breann, when nobody else is around, that scares me. I complain a lot. Just now, the internet wasn't working and I was getting bitter and saying mean things to my computer. The overflow of my heart...it is frightening to think what it looks like in there...
4:1-12 - As we saturate more and more with the NT, perhaps we will be more receptive to the Spirit within whose sword is the Word of God.
5:8 - Yes, I feel the same way. Thank God that our depravity is covered by the blood and we can approach the throne with confidence through Him.
6:45 - I have always believed in the importance of filling my mind with Scripture, but I haven't always lived like I believe it. There are so many distractions. So many diversions. I need to simplify further.

Welcome to our Study Blog!
Hello and welcome to the 2008 New Testament Study Blog. The goal of this blog is to provide a vehicle for users to have world wide Bible study of the New Testament. All participants are invited to read the passage for the week and comment on your thoughts, feelings and revelations. Proverbs 27 says that "as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another" and Ecclesiastes 4:12 says "A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." So let's together be sharp and strong for the Lord in 2008!
