Today’s question is from Mark 8:36 How much is your soul worth? The Bible mentions several people who bargained with their souls, and they all lost. We think of Lot, Samson, and Judas who made foolish deals with the devil. For some the consequences lasted forever. We should be on […]

Question: “Where are you?”
Today’s question is from Genesis 3:9 Proverbs 5:21 says, “Your ways are in full view of the LORD.” Many people have tried to hide from God. Jonah tried, but God knew all along where he was. David didn’t think anyone saw his sin with Bathsheba, but a short time later […]
Question: “What is your name?”

Question: “If God is for us who can be against us?”
Today’s question is from Romans 8:31 The Apostle Paul once posed this question. It is quite rhetorical in nature. Paul was no stranger to strife. He knew well what he was saying here. In the first part of the snippet we realize that God is indeed for us. He adopted […]

Question: “What profit is an idol?”
Today’s question is from Habakkuk 2:18 (ESV) There are numerous gods and goddesses named in the Bible. They were once worshiped by many people. The Israelites even made their own golden calf idol while in the wilderness. Today Dagon, Baal, and Artemis are all but gone. They had no power; […]
Question: “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?”
Today’s question is from Luke 12:25 We all have days when we become anxious about something in our life. Writing a test, playing a solo in front of an audience, seeing the doctor, or going on a big trip can cause stress. That is natural. However, letting worry gain control […]
Question: “What are you doing here?”
Today’s question is from 1 Kings 19:13 Elijah had just won a contest on Mount Carmel against the prophets of Baal. That made King Ahab and Queen Jezebel very angry. They decided to arrest Elijah and kill him, so he ran deep into the desert. When he thought he was […]
