Life Principles for Following Christ

I’ve been using this book for a while now in my personal devotional time, and I have to recommend it to anyone who is looking to “jump start” their Bible study. If you don’t have a plan or are in-between studies, this Following God Character Series is very good. I’ve done 2-3 in the series.
Life Principles for Following Christ is a 12-week interactive Bible study. There is material to read and respond to for five days in each of the chapters. The 12 chapters each take a deeper look at Christ’s roles in the following ways:
- The Last Adam
- The Seed
- The Angel of the Lord
- Lawgiver and Judge
- The King
- The Prophet
- The High Priest
- The Son of Man
- Christ in Prayer
- The I AM
- Rabbi and Teacher
- Lamb of God
The one on the kings of the Old Testament was not only informative and helpful, but it also helped place into perspective a timeline of God’s dealings with the nation of Israel. Knowing the events of the Old Testament enables one to relish with gratitude God’s intervention through Christ in the New.

Today I finished the last day of Bible study with a group of ladies I’ve been studying with for the four years I’ve been back in Louisiana. We just finished Beth Moore’s Stepping Up, a study on the Psalms of the Ascent. I’m sitting here feeling completely overwhelmed. This study was exactly what I needed at precisely this time of transition in my life. This omnipotent, sovereign God we serve is sweet enough to speak fresh words that apply specifically to me. That’s huge!. And I’m overwhelmed at the sweetness of community that He gives us so that we don’t have to do this life thing by ourselves. I’m going to miss my group, but I’m ready for the next step. I mean, since you asked.

Amy, I don’t know if you saw this entry or not, but some of us guys at Journey went through Stepping Up recently (as well as some of our gals earlier last year), and we loved it too.
