Lesson 3: To Be Pleasing to God (Ephesians 5, 1 Peter 5, Psalms 149, Mark 9)
What is your attitude about pleasing others? Because I'm a professor, my students want to please me. Because I'm old enough that I don't have to work, I could say that I've had enough of pleasing my employer. But that is not my attitude. I want to please my students, my employer, and generally everyone else who crosses my path. Why is that true? Plenty of people simply do not care about the opinions of others. My reason is that I believe my life is better when I make the lives of others better. Is this a Biblical principle? Let's dive into our study of the Bible and learn more!

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.
