Last night several eager students joined together with Elizabeth and me to dive deeper into God's Word. It was the beginning of a Monday night group of Bible students appropriately entitled Meat Eaters. Each night we will study a portion of the Bible more in-depth than a usual Sunday morning or Wednesday evening Bible class. There will be a time for study, devotion, contemplation, meditation and prayer. A small gathering of spongelike hearts and minds ready to soak up the precepts and promises of a loving Creator. Needless to say, this is a minister's dream!
What I thought would liberally be a small group of 6-7 turned out to be 12. We ate some pizza, sat in a huddle on the floor of the youth house and opened the Book for study! We began with a surface level overview of the entire Bible-it's authors, languages, dating, writing styles and overarching theme. It was successful in my eyes and I was glad to hear the positive feedback from the students.
I look forward to seeing these young disciples grow in the faith and mature spiritually as they continue, like Ezra, to devote themselves in study to the God's Word.
