I'm going to try to do a Bible study on my own (just me, myself, and I). Although this will cut down on group input (obviously), and will also have to function on less knowledge, I think it will be edifying :)

Oh yeah, what I'm studying: 1 John.

Feel free to join me, online or otherwise :)

1 John 1:5-10
"This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us."

All of this could be sort of hopeless (we're sinners, we sin, that's what we do, and sin separates us from God)...except for verse 9: "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"!

Dwell on that for a minute. Doesn't it make you feel so free??
