Any Recommendations?

Are you interested in studying this summer?

Every summer I like to do a precept upon precept Bible study.

I like it to be a stand-alone study. This means that those students who are taking my Genesis classes will pause studying Genesis for the summer and potentially sign up for something different.

This also allows students who are otherwise without a Bible study because many Bible study leaders take the summer off spend with both family and to prepare for the next year’s lessons.

Our study would need to be less than 11 weeks long and have only one part to it.

Please let me know in the comments if you have an opinion as to what you would like to sign up for this summer.

Amen.

What can mere mortals do to me? 5 They twist my words all day long; all their thoughts against me are evil. 6 They stir up strife, they lurk; they watch my steps while they wait to take my life. 7 Will they escape in spite of such sin? God, bring down the nations in wrath. 8 You yourself have recorded my wanderings. Put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book? 9 Then my enemies will retreat on the day when I call. This…
