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.

My trials at the moment are mainly concerned with keeping a tight rein on my tongue. I think ultimately, it is my own pride, needing to have the last word, to be right, to "show them,". . . But I also see God's mercy in allowing me to see my weakness in this area, and deal with the consequences in order to better understand this area of sin in my life and turn it over to him. It truly is my own evil desire and not God tempting me. And so I am having to persevere (I just noticed the word "severe" in there) in faith that God helping me learn and be a better person and witness by denying my pride and my tongue control over me.
