God bless you and welcome to the website for Scriptural Study Groups, located in Central Ohio.
This website is designed primarily for the use and convenience of those who participate in Scriptural Study Groups, and therefore some sections might not be applicable to all visitors. However, we hope that the Scriptural resources will be of benefit to all who desire a deeper appreciation of the Word of God.
Scripturally Speaking
Success at Any Cost
Galatians 5:13 (New International Version, 2011 Edition)You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.
Every human culture has embedded within it a standard, or standards, as to what constitutes a successful life. These may include academic excellence, athletic achievement, or having a presence on the internet. Whatever the standards of a particular society, it is important to recognize that these standards are cultural traditions, and like all traditions, they run deep. So deep that even the Christian may not take the time to consider whether or not they truly are worth becoming the focus of his or her life.
