Our Bible study group worked through a video series based of the book "This was Your Life" which is really excellent. I have read the book twice and watched the video series! It is REALLY good! One of the craziest points in the book was that every sin begins with the suspicion that God is not good. Our minds are a constant battle field of good and evil, but the moment that we think that God is not good is the moment that sin begins to grow.

Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
