Mercy Parish Bible Study Journal A Mercy Parish Series Companion Book

The purpose of any journal is to give you a place to keep of record of the work you are doing. In this case the “work” is studying the Bible. This study is meant to be a private record of your thoughts, questions, and even arguments with God. Rest assured that it is all right to have questions about the Bible. It’s all right to have doubts and even arguments with God about what you read. By voicing these questions, doubts, and disagreements, you are more likely to one day get the answers you seek. Even Jesus said, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened unto you.” Matthew 7:7 If you don’t ask, seek, and knock, you’re less likely to obtain that which you seek. Most of the time what you seek is in plain sight, but that is not always true. Jesus spoke in parables sometimes to keep the insincere from treating truth lightly.
