A THROUGH THE BIBLE STUDY CHALLENGE
Most teenagers are busy with one, or with a combination of some of the following: school, girls, boys, sports, computer games, or just hanging out.
I realize that is not likely the order in which you would consider these things. In and of themselves there is nothing wrong with those activities (or inactivities); however all of us must make sure that we are taking time for God. Jesus taught, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness…” (Mt. 6:33). Since we learn of righteousness through His word, I would like to offer you the challenge to study with us as we go through the Bible. As we progress, a subject, problem, or question may arise that you might like to discuss. When we have considered these issues we will resume our through the Bible plan. Feel free to ask questions and we will get some class participation going as we work through issues that may be of interest to you. You may contact me at pjditoro@hotmail.com.
