My job has gotten so busy this past week that it's been driving me crazy.
Anyway, Pastor Danny and I have started a Bible Study on Tuesday mornings at our church. We had a guy from his job there with us for our first meeting. It was cool. We started an expository study on the book of 1 John. We hope that we will be able to get some more guys Carlosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6029067.post-1083341233008587302004-04-30T11:07:00.000-05:002004-04-30T11:11:31.686-05:00Here are today's Friday Five as posted by Rick:
1) DO YOU STUDY THE BIBLE?
yes
2) HOW OFTEN DO YOU "STUDY" THE BIBLE?
if you mean "study" as in going deeper than just a quiet time, then, about 3-4 times a week
3) DO YOU HAVE A ROUTINE IN YOUR STUDY TIME?
kinda, but not really...i read the context of the verse(s) i'm studying
4)WHAT TOOLS DO YOU USE FOR YOUR BIBLE STUDY?

Aren't we too busy for ourselves? We say things like: "I'm really busy at work" or "My computer just isn't working right" or my favorite "The devil has been on my back today."

Do you see what I see? (No, PR, not the "Little Drummer Boy" song.) We always say things like: if you only saw it through my eyes. Well, what if I did? Do our eyes see color the same way? For example, what if I saw a red truck with my eyes and, if possible, looked at the same truck with your eyes. Would it still be red?

I woke up with my eye matted shut and the right side of my head pounding. I really don't know where it came, but it's gone now.
Anyway, did anyone catch the Press Conference last night? I watched for a while and was mostly pleased by it.

Kids are getting right with God, but I pray that they would stay right. Too many conferences produce deceived youth. Nothing is bad with the conference, but it's the lack of accountability later at the local church. Parents have become friends and friends have become parents.

Anyways, I am still teaching our youth during Lifetraining. We've been doing an exegesis on 1 John and we're up to chapter 3 verse 9.
