My "I" Problem with God's Word

by Rick Metrick

God's ways are not our ways, neither are his thoughts our thoughts. It should come as no surprise that the teachings found in the Bible often conflict with our thoughts and behaviors. This conflict sets the stage for My "I" Problem with God's Word. These devotions, written in the first person, do not express the author's personal struggles with God's Word; rather, they describe the reader's spiritual journey. From the first paragraph, the reader becomes the "I," allowing God to expose personal sin and the struggle of exchanging worldly ways for holy living. The reader enters into the spiritual struggle and victory. Each chapter highlights one or two verses, uniquely explained and applied through five daily readings. The subjects include thankfulness, spiritual battles, faith being tested, and forgiving others. My "I" Problem with God's Word is the first in a series of devotionals. Daily readings 51-100 is projected to be published in the spring of 2010. Dr. Rick Metrick is the senior pastor of Jones Memorial Baptist Church and the director of Total Life Counseling, Inc.; both located in Beckley, West Virginia. He is also the founder of JUSTHONORGOD.com, host of GODSWAKEUPCALL.MYPODCAST.com, and author of The Yawning A Survival Guide for the Church of the Twenty-first Century, published by Strategic Book Publishing, New York, New York. He and his wife, Karen, are proud of their five adult daughters, two sons-in-law, and three adorable grandsons. Rick has been a pastor for over three decades and has been in private practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Approved Licensed Professional Supervisor for twenty years. His writings reflect a depth of authenticity and spirituality seldom seen among his peers. Visit his web sites for more TLCWV.com and JMBCWV.com.
