Tuesday Bible Study
Our Bible Study will be in Castro Valley.We are on our eighth and final session.
Some thoughts....
"History shows us what can happen when a civilization turns its back on God - and it also shows us the extraordinary changes that can happen when a fresh knowledge of God is sought after and reincorporated into a culture's priorities."
The church's dirty little word is repentance. Today's church is filled with good christians and very few great ones. We have people at "church," who are pretenders of the faith. We have failed to take God seriously and abused His love, grace, and mercy. How often have we heard a message on God's Holiness? Rarely. The church is no different from the world.
It's time for the church to wake up! We need men and women like Josiah, who at the age of twenty, sought after God, smashing altars and idols of false religions - 2 Chronicles 34. At the age of twenty six, he "saw the Lord," and experienced personal revival. God calls us to repent - change our minds, our feelings, and LIFESTYLE about our gross sin towards God so that we can "see the Lord."
Last time, our Adult and the Singles (Wed night) learned what to do in order to live out the Bible. The simple yet powerful questions of Bible study has impacted a few of the people in the group.
"What does God's Word say?" Observe
"What does God's Word mean?" Learn a lesson
"What does God's Word mean to me?" Apply
The fourth question, "How do I live it out?", was as powerful as the others. People got excited about the Word more than ever. We will never see the Scriptures the same again. God's Word is indeed alive and transforms the hearts!
