Next Meeting

Our next 4SGM meeting will be on January 14, 2009, same time, same place. We are moving into the WOTM intermediate training program which will go into some more detail as far as how we are to respond to various arguments. Remember to be looking for opportunities to share the gospel with people, especially at this time of year when family comes to visit or vice versa. Also be sure to remain consistent in the Word.

Have a blessed and Merry CHRISTmas,

Alex

What I have been reading

Here are some quotes from Shadow of the Almighty about Jim Elliot that have blessed me lately:

Accountability:
In a letter to a friend: "I charge you, by the concern we bear for one another's souls, and by the love of God, that you warn me and exhort me with patience if you see in me those turnings back of heart which I do not perceive in the blindness of my flesh."


Free time:
Journal entry October 7, 1949: "Realized today that I am on a very stiff trial--it is the test of free time. The Lord took away all outward activity. No work, no money to spend, nothing to do. I fear lest I should waste such days. Spent this one in writing, reading, and a little prayer."


We encourage you to comment on this post and tell us what you've been reading, in the Word or elsewhere, and how God has used it in your life.

because of the cross,

Alex
