      Sep 23, 2022

      What a beautiful scripture above – this is a solid motivation to meditate on God’s Word. Yet, believe it or not, there are some Christians who deem this Scripture to be an ‘arrogant’ or ‘self-righteous’ declaration. I am so grateful that I’ve had str

      Know Your Writer

      RICHARD MONTGOMERY lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with his wife, Racquel, and their children. Rick is a graduate of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth, Texas, and has served as a pastor and director of a community service non-profit organization. He served in Vietnam with the 2nd Battalion, 506th Infantry of the 101st Airborne Division, and was awarded the Purple Heart for wounds sustained in combat. God led him, from his experience as a combat soldier, to write the book Kingdom Soldiers: A Warrior’s Guide to Winning Life’s Battles, dealing with the spiritual warfare Christians face every day of our lives. Rick is now retired, but he continues to volunteer as an administrator with the Pittsburgh Experiment, an evangelistic workplace ministry serving the men and women of Pittsburgh.

      A Message from the President/CEO . . .

      Welcome to this third quarter of study in 2016. Here at R.H. Boyd, we have worked diligently to ensure that each quarter of study offers a fresh opportunity to discover what God’s Word can teach His people today through meaningful, in-depth study. For 120 years, we have been dedicated to serving the Church throughout the world by providing Bible studies for God’s faithful people. We trust that this quarter honors our tradition of excellence.

      We will begin in July with a unit titled A World Gone Wrong. These lessons out of Paul’s epistle to the Romans highlight the brokenness of the world that has come about due to sin. As it did for the Roman Christians, this letter also convicts us of sins and encourages us to be diligent in seeking to follow God rather than allowing sin to rule in our lives.

      Our lessons in Romans continue in August in the unit Life on God’s Terms. While the previous lessons emphasized the brokenness of the world, these final lessons from Romans focus on what it means to live as the people of God in the face of the many struggles and temptations that surround us.

      In September, the unit The Sovereignty of God studies texts from the book of Isaiah. Though he prophesied doom for Israel, ultimately Isaiah offered great hope of ultimate restoration for God’s people. These prophecies were realized in the person of Jesus Christ who invites all nations to come to God and worship in His peaceful Kingdom.

      As always, we look forward to sharing this quarter of study with you. The reason for our continued work here at R.H. Boyd is to help strengthen God’s Church through these Bible studies. This commitment has been renewed every year for more than a century, and we look forward to many more years serving the Lord’s people.

      In His Service,

      Dr. T. B. Boyd III

      President/CEO

      QUARTERLY OVERVIEW

      This quarter has three units that explore the theme of creation and emphasize our need for new creation in Christ because of the sin and disobedience in which human beings have continually participated.

      UNIT I — JULY

      Unit I, titled A World Gone Wrong, has four sessions that look at Paul’s words to the church at Rome about the need to turn from ungodliness, wickedness, and corruption and to move toward realization of the creation God intended: a loving, obedient relationship with God through the redeeming power of Jesus Christ.

      UNIT II — AUGUST

      Unit II, Life on God’s Terms, is a six-session study, also in Romans, of Paul’s visions of what life is like when we become new creations in Christ.

      UNIT III — SEPTEMBER

      Unit III, The Sovereignty of God, has four lessons exploring how the prophet Isaiah views the reign of God over the whole world as a peaceful kingdom, a mountain of God, the foundations of the earth, and in a new and everlasting covenant.
