God gives to people talents and gifts and opportunities as He sees fit.  And He holds us accountable for what we have been given, proportionately to how we have been blessed and favored.  Today, we will look briefly at some of the people in the Bible who were blessed and whether or not they rose to the level of how they had been blessed.

Luke 12:47-48 KJV
And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.  But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

The Key Principles of Effective Bible Study is a resource which outlines core concepts shown in the Scriptures that will help you to better understand many Biblical themes and doctrines.  We have an extended, 24-part podcast series on these principles, and a condensed, 9-part series called God's Precious Word, that is based on the same resource.

We also recommend that you check out the True Wisdom podcast which I co-host with Robert Baker -- a different format for Bible Study.

Finally, check out these awesome Bible Maps!

We pray that all of these resources will be very helpful to you in your Bible Studies.
