Welcome to The Salvation Army's Challenge to read
150 popular chapters from the Old Testament within 7 months,
reading just
5 chapters per week.
Monday, November 3 , 2014 --- Proverbs
12 --- ‘The Lord
detests lying lips’
- V1,
Is this verse a little harsh, or is it simply some straight talking?
- V4,
In what way is this true?...Is it still true if the words ‘wife’ and ‘husband’
were switched?
- V17,
This Proverb seems rather obvious – why do you think it was written?
- V25,
Who was the last person you cheered with a kind word?...How much did it cost to
do this good deed?
Tuesday, November 4 , 2014 --- Proverbs
31 --- ‘A woman
who fears the Lord is to be praised’
- V4-7,
Are these verses just for Kings?...Or should they be relevant for each of us?
- V8-9,
What groups of people might be included among those who cannot speak up for
themselves? Do you think it includes the elderly, those with learning difficulties,
the unborn children?
- V10-31,
Do you think these verses are only true for wives, or might they be equally
accurate for husbands?
- V30,
Is this a good piece of pre-marital advice?
Wednesday, November 5 , 2014 --- Ecclesiastes 1 - -- ‘Everything
is meaningless’!
- V1
& 12, Who is writing these words?
- V1-11,
How would you summarise these verses?...Have you ever come to similar
conclusions as the writer?
- V18,
How is this true?
Thursday, November 6 , 2014 --- Ecclesiastes 3 - -- ‘There
is a time for everything’
- V1-8,
‘There is a time for everything’, but how can we discern whether it is the
‘right’ time?
- V17,
How can this verse be both a challenge and a comfort at the same time?
Friday, November 7 , 2014 --- Ecclesiastes 12 - -- The
conclusion of the teacher’s considerations.
- V13-14,
read these verses carefully, and consider whether you think they summarise the
purpose of life.
