In some ways it seems rather daunting but it is also exciting to know that others can be kept informed in a fairly simple manner.
At college, we are in the middle of the Annual Moore College Lectures - a series of 5 lectures by a (usually) visiting speaker which are open to the public. This morning we have heard the fourth of the talks by Dr Mike Ovey on the subject of repentance. It was exciting to be challenged to think about how repentance and faith are related to each other and what role repentance has in our salvation. The fifth and final talk is this Thursday morning at 10.15am at Moore College - come along if you are able!
Everybody has been referring to third term at college as the 'term of fun'. There is certainly some truth in that as events like the Moore Revue and Winter Carnival happen next week. My struggle, however, has been in dealing with a lot of disruptions to my normal routine and working out how to cope with it all.
I seem to be very much a creature of habit who prefers things to be predictable. However, so often life doesn't operate in that way and we have to constantly be dealing with change. Praise God that He never changes and we can rely on Him to always be the same. The writer to the Hebrews reminds us that 'Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.' (Hebrews 13:8).
Prayer Points
- Praise God that He never changes and that we can depend on Him always being the same
- Praise God for the incredible privilege it is to study the Bible so intensively during my time at college
- Please pray that I will be disciplined in how I spend my time, especially when there is little in the way of regular routine
- Please pray for me as I study for a Greek exam that I have next Tuesday morning - it is just rote learning for this one but I need to put appropriate time into it
