Closing In

Hi All,
We're closing in on the end of the semester, which takes place in 2 1/2 weeks. Dan continues to enjoy his classes and learn a lot. He is especially enjoying his Gospel of Mark class. There was a great discussion on Tuesday about the need to link our Scriptural studies of particular passages with the whole of the Bible, to be followed an appropriation of the Spirit's insights to allow Him to transform us. For example, some Christians search in the Bible for principles that will support their idea of the good-like, but God wishes for them to immerse themselves in the Bible deeply with an open mind and heart in order to discover His intended God-life. This kind of discussion reminds us how grateful we are for the gift of God's Word and the double gift of this time of learning, reflection, and equipping. Thank you for supporting us during this phase of our ministry. We are deeply grateful. Much Love, Dan and Nancy
