We tend to think that God made the world for us. He made it beautiful for us to enjoy. He gave us gifts and talents so that we can work and do our jobs well. When we take a good look at Scripture, though, we see that God created all things, including us, for his own glory. Tune in to hear Dr. James Boice talk about an important paradigm shift we all need, this week on The Bible Study Hour.
We can never put God in our debt. It doesn’t matter how fervently and consistently we do devotions, or how much money we give to the church, or how many good things we do in a week. We cannot make God obligated to us. Everything good we do came from him in the first place. Tune in this week to The Bible Study Hour to hear Dr. James Boice teach on God’s self-sufficiency.
Life is meaningless. Work, career advancement and wealth are meaningless. Play and pleasure are meaningless. So are knowledge and wisdom. If you take off the rose-colored glasses, this will be the world you find. But is this bleak picture really all there is? Tune in this week to The Bible Study Hour to hear Dr. James Boice talk about the source of meaning in life.
God doesn’t behave how we think he should. Often his plans seem arbitrary. Sometimes they appear downright contrary to his character. But God’s plans are always consistent, and they’re always perfect. Tune in to hear Dr. James Boice talk about the amazing ways of God, this week on The Bible Study Hour.
As our Savior hung on the cross, it looked as though His enemies had won, but in defeating Him, not only were His adversaries defeated, but death itself was crushed. Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he takes us through the ploys of Christ’s enemies and their elaborate plot that, from the beginning, was doomed to failure.
