Lesson 3: Life and Death (Philippians 1:19-30)
Have you wondered why some Christians fight death when life becomes painful due to disease? Why not welcome death and heaven? Do you think about your own death? This is the beginning of a new year and most people think about how they can improve their health and life in the new year. That seems very different than contemplating death. However, in our study this week, Paul writes about death. He knows that he could be executed by the Roman government at any time. Christians who live in countries that provide religious freedom do not really understand these thoughts about impending death at the hands of government. Let's get into our study of the Bible and see what we can learn from Paul's thoughts about death and life!

Emotional Intelligence
Can the Bible help you get promoted at work? Can the Bible increase your pay? Can the Bible help you keep your job? Improve your marriage? The answer is “Yes!” The Bible teaches principles of “emotional intelligence” that can actually help you to be smarter and get along better. Bruce Cameron, the writer of these Bible studies and a law professor, has published a paper written for lawyers which presents 17 Bible-based rules of emotional intelligence which God gave us to improve our lives. Best of all, Professor Cameron’s paper is free and you do not have to be a lawyer to understand it. To get your free copy, first click on this link.
