Tonight's Bible Class

Wednesday night Bible study at the church building.

What do you bring to math class when you attend?
A math book, right? Right.

What do you bring to Bible class when you attend?
A Bible.

Out of the 16 kids attending the Bible study, 5 of us had brought a Bible. Of the five, ONE was a guy. Think about it. The men are going to be the spiritual leaders, not the women. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

This evening, we were given blank sheets of paper and instructed to write:

P
S
C

vertically; all papers would remain anonymous.

Our teacher then said to put a "y" or a "n" for yes or no next to it when he said what they stood for.

"For the p, did you pray this week at least three times, not including meals or church; for the s, did you study the Bible at least three times this week, not including Bible studies with someone else or church studies; for the c, did you cuss this week?"

10 prayed. 6 didn't.
3 studied. 13 didn't.
9 cussed. 8 didn't.

Thirteen didn't study? THIRTEEN?! How convicting is that? Very, to me.

Do Hard Things. Study your Bible.
And next time, bring it to class.
