Directions: Answer the thought provoking questions. Notice the subtitles. Sometimes the question or
questions will refer to more than one passage, so before answering such read all
Scripture until the next question. This assignment is worth 3 units, so write at least 4
quality pages (single spaced lines and no redundancies).
