Lesson 9 (Nov 22-28), One Lawgiver and Judge

Judgement or Discernment

1. Is it possible or even if it is, is it advisable to live without judging? Isn't it dangerous to trust everyone?
2. Isn't the ability to judge people's motives a gift from God? Is that what discernment means?

The Lawgiver is Judge

1. Is God neutral as a judge or is He biased?  
2. Why do people mistrust lawyers? 

Planning Ahead

1. Should believers sell all they have for the sake of the gospel?
2. For how many years ahead should one plan? Can we safely assume Jesus will probably not come within a year?

A Mist

1. In what way is vapour or mist or cloud not a good analogy of life?
2. What makes time pass quickly or slowly?
3. Why did Solomon say life is meaningless?

Knowing and Doing What is Good?

1. We condemn fat people for not changing their eating habits, but why do most of us not exercise when we know we will live longer if we keep fit?  Is it a sin not to exercise?
2. Can prayer strengthen our resolve to change behaviour? Can one change behaviour for the better independent of God?
