This Week’s Questions:

1.  Personal Reflection - Which area of you life (home, church, work, play, etc) most needs to see you live out this principle?  Who in your life most needs to hear you repent for selfishness in this area?

2.  Kingdom Reflection - How does our study of the characteristics of the kingdom affect this issue?  How does it make you think of this passage differently?  How does it reinforce your previous thoughts?

3.  Theological Issue - What does this passage call for when our neighbor’s desire is to bring us harm or even death?

4.  Artifact Issue - How do we stand for sound doctrine and have respect for everyone in our ministry as a church?  Give an example of a ministry we could begin doing in this manner.

5.  Cultural Issue - Our society has made a virtue of wandering or seeking but it is very suspicious of people who offer answers or solutions.  In other words our culture likes to seek but it is not so sure about finding.  In light of this mindset and our passage how should we offer truth to our society as a whole?
