Introduction: A dear friend who worked with me on many cases routinely spent lunch time walking and talking with me about the Bible. He was a Catholic who, as he jokingly put it, “read his Bible.” Later in life, he ran into several set-backs. His wife decided not to accompany him to a new and … Continue reading –>
Introduction: Are you ready to learn more about communicating with God? Last week we studied several Bible passages about prayer, including Jesus’ warning in Matthew 6 about praying in public for the purpose of impressing others. He also warned about using “empty phrases” and many words in prayer on the mistaken assumption that “more is … Continue reading –>
Introduction: If prayer is supposed to be a conversation with God, He must think I’m a really lousy conversationalist. I have a habit of mindlessly repeating phrases like, “Please, Lord, help.” Or “Thank you, Lord.” Part of my problem is that Jesus said, “Pray then like this” and gave us the Lord’s Prayer.

That made me want to learn more about my grandfather. It was frustrating. My father never said anything good about him and my grandmother was … Continue reading –>
Introduction: If you are like most employees, you have (or had when you were working) some sort of evaluation of your work. Have you ever heard of an evaluation of your religious life? In law school it is common for the only student evaluation to be the final exam. Many view the Christian life like … Continue reading –>
Introduction: We’ve come to the final study in this series of lessons. This is Paul’s farewell to the members of the church at Colossae. The way in which Paul describes his coworkers is a lesson for all of us. When you are discussing someone you know, do you also mention the bad things about them? Or … Continue reading –>
Introduction: Some Christians find that living with others is difficult. Their marriage relationship requires constant work. They do not know how to relate to their children.
