6월 7일 Guarding Hearts http://odb.org/2013/06/07/guarding-hearts/ Guarding Hearts by Randy Kilgore Read: 2 Timothy 2:10-18 For years I taught adult Bible-study classes in a local church and took great pains to consider Scripture carefully before answering questions during the lessons.

And the senior pastor in my firs.. 더보기
5월 30일 The Tragic Flaw http://odb.org/2013/05/30/the-tragic-flaw/ The Tragic Flaw Read: 2 Chronicles 26:3-15 In literature, a tragic flaw is a character trait that causes the downfall of a story’s hero. That was true of Uzziah, who was crowned king of Judah at age 16. For many years, he sought the Lord; and while he did, God gave him great success (2 Chron. 26:4-5). But things changed when “his fame spread far and wid.. 더보기
5월 29일 Peace, Be Still http://odb.org/2013/05/29/peace-be-still/ Peace, Be Still by Joe Stowell Read: Mark 4:35-41 My friend Elouise has a wonderful way of putting life into clever perspectives. Once when I asked her, “How are you today?” I expected the usual “fine” response. Instead, she said, “I’ve got to wake Him up!” When I asked what she meant, she kiddingly exclaimed, “Don’t you know your Bible?!” Then she expla.. 더보기
5월 22일 A Missed Lunch http://odb.org/2013/05/22/a-missed-lunch/ A Missed Lunch by Joe Stowell Read: John 4:27-38 For me, food is more than a necessity—it’s a wonderfully enjoyable part of life! I enjoy sitting down to a well-prepared meal, especially when I’m feeling hungry. I imagine that the disciples were hungry for lunch when they returned to the well where Jesus was interacting with the Samaritan woman. They urg.. 더보기
