A Tool for Bible Study, Prayer, and Teaching Scott Pauley

Solomon said, “Of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh” (Ecclesiastes 12:12). This is the life verse of every college student! In fact, each year in the United States alone there are between 600,000 and 1 million books published. We all have a long list of books we need to – intend to – read.

When I write something it is always with a desire to be a help to someone and a prayer that God will use it however He chooses. Recently I wrote a little book on The Need of Our Nation. It is a brief study of two Old Testament passages and two New Testament passages that give eternal truth to those who are burdened for their nation.

Our country is in trouble. Only God can turn the tide. Some group of Christians has to find His burden and believe that He is able. This is the need of our nation.

I am not asking you to read the book. I am asking you to pray your way through the book and then teach it to someone else. You can watch a brief video about it on our YouTube channel and then order your copy of The Need of Our Nation.

Here are a few suggestions for using this revival resource:

  • Look up all of the Scriptures that are referenced throughout the book and mark them in your Bible. There are a host of cross references given for further study. We hope this little book will encourage many to dig further into God’s Book!
  • Divide your study following the main breaks in the book. Don’t rush through the material. Each of the main passages of Scripture studied may be used as a template for a time of prayer. The material is broken into six parts: Shaking Foundations, What Can We Do?, A Patriot’s Prayer, Our First Work, Noah and Lot, and It’s Your Turn. Some of these could easily be divided into multiple sessions.
  • Consider obtaining additional copies to give to others. So many people are troubled about the condition and direction of our country. This is something that you can put into the hands of those you want to encourage.

Following a contentious election year and on the verge of the 20th anniversary of 9/11 we are praying God will use this new tool to stir many to seek the Lord on behalf of our country.

Now, I am no engineer! But the principle applies to us all: The easiest thing in the world is to have a complicated life. The hardest thing in the world is to have a simple life. You have to work hard to keep it simple.

You Have to Work Hard to Keep it Simple

The idea of building a monument was not that of Joshua, but of God. God instructed Joshua to have twelve men remove a stone from a prescribed place, place it on their shoulders and bear it up out of Jordan. It was to be taken to their place of lodging. What purpose could possibly be served in carrying twelve large river rocks approximately six or seven miles to Gilgal? God said to! In Joshua, we find that God is a monument builder. 

The Monument Builder

In the Second Boer War in South Africa, 13,000 British troops were trapped for 118 days in what is now known as the Siege of Ladysmith. Food diminished, and disease grew. Worst of all, discouragement set in. A civilian was arrested, tried, and sentenced to a year in jail for being a discourager! This man was not a traitor, but he walked around town and spoke discouraging things to men who were on guard against the enemy. The deepest wound you can inflict is to wound a person’s spirit (Proverbs 18:14). Image of the relief of the siege

The Power of Encouragement and the Peril of Discouragement 

In 2 Kings 5, we read a tale of three servants: Naaman, the Little Maid, and Gehazi. No matter your past, you can find healing like Naaman. Regardless of your circumstances, like the maid, God can bless and use you for eternity. Even if you have experienced great victory, you can fall into sin, just like Gehazi.
