questions for thought & discussion

1. Explain the statement, “The law can never justify; it does sanctify, and there is no sanctification by lawlessness. 
2. Do people accidentally fall into acts of righteousness? What does this question imply? 
3. When Israel asked for a king and God gave them Saul, did He stop being the King of Israel? 
4. Do we make God our King or do we submit to God our King? 
5. Is submission an “active” or a “passive” process? 
6. Is Lordship different from Kingship?

application

​One of the surest ways to identify whether you understand a subject is to write a point of view paper (sometimes referred to as a position paper).  This exercise helps to unearth areas of confusion, uncertainty, and/or disagreement, many times revealing that a number of unanswered questions remain. Once completed, you may submit your paper for comments.
 
After formulating your position(s) on the subjects covered in each lesson, a good next step is to engage in conversation (with your spouse, children, parents, friends, or co-workers) to better hone your skill in communicating the concepts you have learned and are assimilating into your own thinking.  Do not be concerned about “messing up” or doing it the “wrong way” as you will do plenty of both!  As with anything worth doing, practice will refine this skill, which is vital in order to fulfill the Great Commission.  If you find you need some one-on-one interaction, you may submit a question or request an appointment.
