If you were in that situation, would Jesus' challenge make you angry, or would it force you to reevaluate your attitude toward Jesus? Explain your answer. I guess I would reevaluate my attitude and make sure my beliefs were in the right. I'm not positive though, I would have to be in the situation.
2. What steps can you take to avoid slipping into the kind of religion that is outwardly pious but inwardly bankrupt? I think just constantly checking my behavior against what the scripture says and evaluating it at all times. I get convicted about my behavior in church as well. Like on Sunday when I wondered if my children really see the love of God in me. I hope they do because that is the biggest wish I have for my children, to have a heart for God and the things of God. You know that is also what I want for the teens and the reason I'm in teens. I want you all to have a true love and desire for God.
3. According to this chapter, what factors influence our verdict for or against Jesus?
the scriptures, other people, our experiences
I'm sorry I haven't been doing this but it is really, really hard for me to find the time. It is easier to read my bible over breakfast.
1. I think that I would have to reevaluate my attitude, but probably because I get very concerned about what other people think of me. I tend to try to please people, so if someone was telling me I was doing or thinking something wrong I would have to find out why.
2. By staying in the Word of God, which this blog has helped me to do more faithfully!
3. We must have the love of God in our hearts, and read and study what the Scriptures tell us about Jeusus.
These are some deep rooted questions!
Applying...
1. Not sure if this question means personally in my life or in people and places around me. Pesonally I can easily fall into the woe is me trap when I am having a bad day. Around me, there are lonley/suffering people everywhere. You don't have to go far to talk to someone that is suffering.
2. Well, now I know the question didn't mean personally.. I should have looked ahead. Dumb me! Anyway, I think being a listener to someone who is hurting is a good way to open the door to tell that person what Christ has done in my life and how He has helped me through difficult times. Sometimes people just need to vent and then you can lead into talks about Jesus.
1.If I believed that Jesus was truly the Son of God then I would definetly evaluate myself probably after arguing my case(knowing how I am).
2. surround myself with those who will encourage me in the scripture & attempt to create Biblical habits.
3. Faith in the truths of scripture.
1.i would be very conf
2.some of my friends are like that like and i try to help her some time i have invited her to church
3.jesus help with me
1.idk
2.invited cjurch church so if i could have not done it maybe they could

3. According to this chapter, what factors influence our verdict for or against Jesus?
well for Jesus, he is the main example in my life and im sure in others as well, and just how he handled situations really proves that Jesus will never put us in a circumstance that we cant handle.

If you were in that situation, would Jesus' challenge make you angry, or would it force you to reevaluate your attitude toward Jesus? Explain your answer.
More than likely it would have made me angry, since I would have been trusting in my works to gain acceptance from God. However, there are those who when confronted with the truth are first offended, but then search for answers because the questioning of their motives bothers them. Knowing my personality, that’s probably what I would have done, outward display of disgust and anger, then a search through the Scriptures to see exactly what Moses had to say.
2. What steps can you take to avoid slipping into the kind of religion that is outwardly pious but inwardly bankrupt?
Daily devotions are a great step! Some other steps are comparing myself to God’s Word rather than other people, dealing with sin in my life before pointing it out in others’ lives, and asking God for wisdom on a daily basis.
3. According to this chapter, what factors influence our verdict for or against Jesus?
Bottom line, we either trust in ourselves or we believe the teachings of Jesus and His Word.

1. What are some places in your immediate surroundings that are marked by loneliness or suffering?
Public high schools, nursing homes, hospitals, and the homes of some people I know.
