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 think it's in v. 7 that it calls us to submit to God but anyway, I need to be more intentional about submitting to God in one way by asking daily, many times throughout the day, for God to show me my true motives. I want to know if my true motives are from God or my own selfish desires. I need to ask God continually to increase my faith, increase my wisdom, increase my discernment, so that my motives and hence my actions will be honorable to God. Isn't it God's will for us to be closer to Him? And if I pray for something that is God's will, isn't he faithful to give it? Then I will pray and pray that He will show me daily how to submit myself to Him.
