For those who are reading Respectable Sins with us, welcome back! After six chapters of preparation, we are now in the section of the book dealing with specific sins. So…what did you think?

These are the questions the ladies in my study are talking about today:

1. How would you define ungodliness in your own words? Give an example. (Read Titus 2:11-12 and Romans 1:18)

2. Read Colossians 1:9-10. How does Paul’s prayer here differ from our typical prayers?

3. Read 1 Corinthians 10:31. What does it mean to do all to the glory of God?

4. What would a godly person’s desires look like? (Psalm 63:1, Psalm 27:4, Psalm 42:1-2)

5. How does ungodliness breed or affect other sins?

6. How does Paul compare godliness with athletics?

7. What would you do differently in your normal activities during the day if you were seeking to do all to the glory of God?

8. Read Matthew 6:25-34. When we are anxious, what are we saying about God? How is anxiety a sin?

9. How does accepting and submitting to God’s will curb anxiety?

10. How prominent is worry in our culture? Among women? What situations make you worried or anxious?

11. How does believing in God’s attributes and character help us with worry/anxiety?

12. How does Bridges use Psalm 139:16 to confront his own frustration? How does prayer play a part in battling frustration?
