Compare yourself with those who on the Lord’s Day hear nothing except the dismal sound of the world. What a privilege it is for you to hear the proclamation of the gospel!

I used to blog about what I was studying

I'm still very actively involved in Bible Study.

Our Sunday School class has been studying The Sermon on the Mount for several months.  We're using Sinclair Ferguson's book on the subject and I'm also reading James Boice and D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones' books on the Sermon on the Mount for preparation.

We're taking a break from the Sermon on the Mount for a few weeks this summer and our Pastor, Brandon Wilkins, is teaching us about Old Testament Ethics and the Kingdom of God.  It's been an amazing study so far and I'm learning so much!  

We've been hosting a bi-monthly Bible study of the book of Romans in our home.  I've been using John Murray's commentary as my primary resource but I've also been dipping in and out of Sproul's book on Romans along with James Boice's commentary.  Last night our Pastor shared a book I'll be starting to read today--A Biblical Case for Natural Law by David Van Drunen.  Since this is a borrowed book, I probably won't mess around with this book--I'll read it over the next few days.

And last but not least, I've been leading a study in the book of Hebrews for nearly four years.  I think we'll finish up in the next two weeks.  I'm excited to be so close to completing the study, but I confess I have grown to love this book and I do have ambivilent feelings about 'leaving' it.  My primary resource for this study has been the wonderful commentary by Richard D. Phillips, but I have also been reading Owens, Calvin, and Matthew Henry's commentaries and I've benefitted greatly by my friends sharing what they are learning from their commentaries--Dorothy is reading John Brown and Carol is reading Matthew Poole.  Tiffany joined us a few months ago and is reading Hendrickson.  The four of us have been 'joined' by some great theological minds and we've all learned so much!  We've got lots of ideas about what we want to study next but haven't made any decisions yet.  

Any recommendations?

I'm facilitating a study of "Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands" by Paul Tripp with a group every week. Love that book. God's used it to radically change three people in the group, and I mean R-A-D-I-C-A-L. :)

I'm really enjoying the VanDrunen book on Natural Law. It's a pretty easy read; I've got just three chapters to go!
