New Testament Bible Study
- A new approach to learning and interacting while we develop our faith...
- Welcome to the online study of the New Testament, sponsored by Faith United Methodist Church in Champaign, Illinois, but open to anyone to participate. The guideline for this is simple - there are 260 chapters in the New Testament, one for every weekday in a calendar year. This page lists a bible chapter to read, and questions to ponder, for each weekday. The books aren't studied in the order they appear in the Bible. You can share your answers or thoughts by commenting to each day's post. To start from the beginning, look for "Mark 1 - August 18" in the Blog Archive below.

I "know" these things- in head knowledge always, but in practical belief I probably do not always think, feel, or act like I "know" these things. Especially the asking for things from God and getting them part. I tend to pray limply for things that I always with the postscript, "if it's in your will." I think this is good, for I don't want to ask for things that are outside of God's will, but sometimes I think I pray this so I won't be disappointed later. Then I can rationalize it , "Well, I guess that wasn't God's will so He didn't make it happen, etc" So in that regard I'm not really believing that if I ask for something, God will grant it, or that my faith is not such that my desires are not always the desires of God yet, and so probably will not be granted.
