Coretta Scot King's autobiography

Coretta Scott King, the widow of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in her book, My Life With Martin Luther King, Jr., talks about her earliest Sunday school memories on page 27, "Grandfather Scott would open the Sunday school service by singing a hymn. We had a prayer in the large group--about thirty-five people--then went to our classes, where we were told Bible stories and taught the Catechism."

Later, on page 48, Mrs. King discusses God's plan for us, "I believe that there is a plan and a purpose for each person's life and that there are forces working in the universe to bring about good and to create a community of love and brotherhood. Those who can attune themselves to these forces--to God's purpose--can become instruments of His will."

The passage above reminded me of the Old Testament book of Jeremiah, chapter 29, verse 11, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." (From the King James Bible)

Bible Study Resource-Back to the Bible

I listened to an 8-week Bible study series this summer on the book of Revelation from the radio program, Back to the Bible.

The transcript of the Revelation series begins at:

I like the fact that this radio show provides a written
transcript of their programs so that I can keep up and later
review the notes.
