Before doing this Bible study, please read the one-minute introduction Why Modesty is Getting a Bad Rap. It explains that many women see modesty as a sexist concept meant to blame women for male lust.
Has a woman ever been blamed for her rape or abuse? Yes. But that does not represent the biblical concept of modesty, nor does it represent the Christian attitude toward sexual abuse.
Let's look at what Scripture teaches in regard to modesty.
1. A vivid illustration.
Proverbs 11:22: Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion. &nbs ..read more

As an introduction to this study, read the one-minute devotion Living in the Moment Can Make a Mess of Your Life.
It explains how Esau lacked self-control and demanded instant gratification, giving up his inheritance for a bowl of stew. He serves as a “good bad example” for us.
Genesis 25:29-34: “Once when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the open country, famished. 30 He said to Jacob, ‘Quick, let me have some of that red stew! I’m famished!’ (That is why he was also called Edom.) 31 Jacob replied, ‘First sell me your birthright.’ 32 ‘Look, I am about t ..read more

Before doing this study, read the one-minute introduction Deception Backfires.
In Genesis 27, both Isaac and Rebekah showed ungodly favoritism toward different sons. They also displayed a superstitious belief in the first-born blessing.
Even though God had told Rebekah that Jacob would be stronger and more important than his brother Esau, Rebekah didn't trust God to bring it about. Instead, she set up a plan to deceive her husband Isaac so Jacob could "steal" the first-born blessing.
Isaac, on the other hand, wanted to bless Esau with everything good and give Jacob a wor ..read more

Before doing this study, please read Cain Provides a Good Bad Example—an Example to Avoid.

Before doing this study, please read the one-minute introduction Fools, Anger, Repentance.
Sometimes we get lazy about our walk with the Lord. We excuse, accept or ignore sins in our lives. Or we compare ourselves with others who are worse and think we don't need to change.

Philippians 2:12-13: Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who work ..read more

Before doing this study read the one-minute introduction Why Chains are Sometimes Promoted as Freedom. It discusses the wisdom in Psalm 2:1-3:

Ever since the Fall of man, there has been a struggle between the True and Living God and man-made philosophies and religions. We cannot abandon God's laws without also abandoning His goodness.

It talks about the importance of Psalm 119 and suggests a fun and meaningful way to study it by making three lists: the benefits of God's Word, the descriptions of God's Word, and the psalmist's attitudes toward God's Word.
These are not absolute categories. They will overlap and one person will see them a bit differently from another.
Psalm 119 is made up of 22 stanzas, one for each letter in the Hebrew alphabet, with a total of ..read more
