Summer is winding down (that's wishful thinking on my part) and as Bible Study ramps up once more it is time for me to update this blog! I struggle to find the time to blog in great detail, and I am looking at (1) continuing my sermon series through the Sermon on the Mount, (2) doing my weekly men's lunch study on I Corinthians, (3) teaching every Wednesday evening on Romans, (4) gearing up for charge conference in November, (5) preparing the stewardship campaign series for October/November, and also (6) all the other stuff that swirls around the life of this busy, busy congregation. So pray for me, and be understanding if my postings are a bit terse!
For now, I'll just offer a few quotes for reflection:
"God does not continue to act upon the soul, unless the soul reacts upon God." Wesley, "The Great Privilege"
"I have loved you with an everlasting love." - God (Jer. 31:3)
"God has clothed his thoughts in words, and there is no way to know Him except by knowing the Scriptures." JRW Stott
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed - and hence clamorous to be led to safety - by menacing them with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." HL Mencken
Discipleship ain't bells and whistles but thorns and nails. - unknown
The law of incarnation: what comes down must go up. - unknown
COMING - introduction to Romans!
Terse is good! Our culture does much better with brevity these days, everyone is in a hurry! Don't apologize for short posts, they will be read more than long ones would!
