20060930 Bible Study for the Day- 1 Kings 8:12-66
Solomon’s dedication of the temple he built to God is the greatest of offerings a man could make, yet such an offering was meaningless without faith in the God to whom the temple was dedicated. Carefully read the words recorded from Solomon’s dedication.

That same exhortation applies to us today. There is no work or action that will save us, only faith in the God who has already saved us.

20060928 Bible Study for the Day- 1 Kings 6:1-7:12
The Temple to the Lord that Solomon built in Jerusalem was a sight to behold, a beautiful and awe-inspiring building both outside and inside. That beauty and awe served a purpose beyond getting attention too, because the Temple was intended to remind all who were near it or in it of the God it served. The Temple on earth represented a pale image of the majesty of Heaven and its Creator. Continue reading
