Hey, Sweet Things! How about a pop quiz?? Come on, let’s do it! But only under one condition: NO CONDEMNATION. Not one iota and I mean it. If you’re down on yourself today or somebody’s made you feel dumb or if you’ve been compulsively running like a wild woman from every spiritual discipline like we all do sometimes, you get a hall pass. This is just for fun for those who think this kind of thing is a bit exhilarating. Translation: it’s Nerd Day in Siestaville. If you’re not into the classroom thing, pass this post by and catch up on some old ones. We’ll post a new one soon.
For those of you who want to participate, please limit your comments to the question number and briefest possible response. Some of them will be simple yeses and nos. On the questions that apply, you can by all means use your Bibles but try to answer as many as possible without them. You might consider the object of the game to see how fast you can answer all of these amid the page flipping. Needless to say, you’ll need to answer your questions without reading any of the comments first. Cheating would be a tad counterproductive. Grin. You might do the test on a Word document then copy and paste it in your comment.

So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should
you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one
another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

I loved looking up the answers to these questions. I didn’t know the answers to most of them đ But enjoyed discussing them with my daughters!
Here’s a couple of the personal answers – God is working with me on what I expect from Him, i.e., Great Expectations. He’s asked when I stopped expecting great things from Him, which led to an answer I wasn’t expecting. I stopped expecting great things when I stopped seeking Him. I thought I was seeking Him, but in fact I was seeking answers to my prayers, I was seeking His plan and guidance, I was seeking His provision…but I was not seeking Him….
Love you Beth! You have inspired a deep love for God’s word in me, and I am ever grateful for the reminder to stay on track!

Make your own attitude that of Christ Jesus. Who existing in the form of God did not consider equality with God as something to be used for his own advantage. Instead, he emptied himself, assuming the form of a slave, taking on the likeness of men. And when he had come as a man in his external form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death. Even to death on a cross. And for this reason, God highly exalted him, giving him the name that is above every name. SO that at the name of Jesus, every knew will bow, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and every tongue shall confess, that Jesus Christ is LORD. To the glory of God the Father.
