WOW.

I don't think I've ever struggled through a passage in the Bible as much as I did with Romans 9:14-24.

I got the chance to lead Bible study tonight and if you know me, and even if you don't, I'm far less than adequate. Luckily, God uses even the least of us.
Everything that was planned to happen, did not. Wanting to start at the beginning of the passage, a sg member brought us to the near end.

For about 15 minutes I kept trying to throw the group back to the beginning of the passage. And everytime I thought we were right where I wanted us to be..we go back to that same verse.

Even more frustrating was an RA walking in during the study, staring us down as he walked through the group, and telling us that we could not play the guitar, and to move the furniture back to where it originally was. I nearly got up to rip his head off.

But didn't because I was a bigger man...and he probably would've killed me. :)

Kidding. Love everyone as Jesus does.

Henny is an idiot.
Pretty ironic that I was attempting to direct the Bible study to where I wanted it to go, when the passage was on God's sovereignty, and out lack of control over what He wants. OOPS.

But man...did God work in my heart..don't know about the members, i'm sure He did though. I really enjoyed the last part of the sg meeting. We broke up into pairs and just shared.

Of Mice and Men.
Right. BS did not go anywhere I was expecting it to go. But I know that God will still use it in some shape or form.

More and more I'm learning the effects and factors that play into relationship. They go much deeper and rewarding when you love with the love of Christ.

Jesus. Please use the perversion of a Bible study I facilitated and use it for your righteousness.
