I mentioned pretty frequently at Tapestry that the best love stories aren’t the ones about the dramatic beginning but the ones that are made up of years of dedication, sacrifice, and love. Fred Stobaugh‘s song to Lorraine, his wife of 73 years, is a pretty decent example. You should go watch this now. Really.
My Small Group
I know I haven’t posted in a while, sorry, but I just want to quickly say that I love the small group that Pam and I are a part of. Tuesdays are a long day for me but I still look forward to going over the Holtes for conversation that every now and then is on topic but is always refreshing. If you aren’t in a small group that meets each week and read the Bible or a book of faith I would encourage you to join one. Tapestry has a few that you would fit in with and we are always looking to form another. You can also start your own small group. I usually recommend a modify version of Neil Cole’s Life Transformation Group. It goes like this.
What Is A Group?
A Life Together Group that is 2-3 same gender people who are trying to help each other walk with CHRIST. They meet once a week, bi-weekly,. etc.
What To Do In A Group?
- Hold each other accountable to following CHRIST in a mutual, accountable, and safe group relationship. Ask the Questions.
- Read scripture repetitively in context throughout the week. (10-30 chapters). You pick the book.
- Pray for each other strategically, specifically, and continuously.
The QUESTIONS To Ask In A Group
- In what ways have you been a testimony this week to the greatness of JESUS CHRIST with both your words and actions?
- How have you experienced GOD in your life this week?
- How are you responding to HIS promptings?
- Do you have a need to confess any sin?
- How did you do with your reading last week?
