Opening: With what are you generous: Your money? Time? Talents? Toys? With what
are you stingy?
Scripture: Read Romans 2:1-16.

the Text with Your Life:
- Look back to Friday’s reading. What was your answer to the question whether our society has changed for the better or for the worse? Now reread Romans 2:1. Paul cleverly brings his readers to agreement, then turns the argument back towards us. It may seem pretty harsh, but in what way is he a little too close for comfort in your life?
- As you grow older in your spiritual life, does your appreciation of God’s grace grow stronger, or is it likely to be taken for granted?

Focus: That we would always continue to do good, live for
God’s glory, for honor, and for life that has no end. (From Romans 2:7, NCV)
