Welcome
It is my pleasure to once again welcome you to The Seeker's Network. If you have been a regular visitor to our web page, you will have noticed that it has drastically changed. Our web host had a server problem and lost all of our content along with the backups. This means that I will have to begin from scratch. I originally had over 3,000 daily bible studies for you to use. This was more than ten years of work, so it will take some time to restore them.My intentions are for this site to be a blessing for anyone who is seeking knowledge, whether you are a novice to the Christian faith or a teacher, pastor, evangelist or just a serious student. I will soon begin posting daily bible studies again and rebuilding our bible study library along with daily devotions and other content, so please check back frequently.
The books of Matthew and Genesis are now complete. There are nearly 700 daily studies posted. I have also posted many pages from the book of 1 Corinthians. This is an ongoing study that I have been posting on my Facebook page. These daily studies will be posted below. I am also working on the books of Colossians and Exodus. The first of those studies can also be found in my Bible Study Library in the side bar of this page.
Thank you and may God bless you for your interest and patience with this inconvenience.

The Fruit of Godly Sorrow
11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
Paul now asks the church to look at the results that were produced in them by the godly sorrow that he had caused them. "For behold this self same thing, that ye were made to grieve after a godly sort,.." No argument needed to be made, because the evidence was demonstrated within themselves. All they needed to do was to look. When God does His work, it is not a secret, because the change is so great that anyone who will open their eyes can see it clearly.
"...what carefulness it wrought in you,.." They acted with an eager diligence to remove the incestuous person from their fellowship, to become more proactive in preventing sin from getting a foothold in the church, to practice church discipline and to focus more on good works. They had neglected these things or perhaps had never even considered them, so that this was a very big and noticeable work of God among their congregation. Read More
