Bible Study Hang-over!

Ephesians 5:18
Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.

Well what did you think I meant LOL?
Seriously sleepy this morning but grateful to the Lord for all of you and for an evening spent growing closer to each other and to the Lord.

I was reading a devotional this morning and this quote stood out to me:

The defining characteristic of a community that is being transformed is that the socio-economic traits are being positively affected. The crime rate goes down, the economy is improved, and the number of Christians in the city increases, prayer increases, and the city leaders become Christians. It is the manifestation of Deuteronomy 28:13, "The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom."


The devotional was speaking about entire communities being transformed through the gospel of Jesus Christ. When you think about what happens to us as a small group and translate that to a larger community level - AWESOME!

and that's all I have to say about that!

I thought you menat a hangovewr from all that chocolate at first! Really, though, we should end ALL our bible studies with singing like last night. Great food, great fellowship, great teaching, great discussion, and great singing - what an awesome way to end the day!
