Several of us decided that in our hunger for the Word of God, we would start our own Bible study. So we started with something easy - Daniel. Seriously, it's an amazing book and it seems to be very popular right now as I discover how many other people are studying it, but it is anything but easy. Once you get past "Daniel in the Lion's Den", buckle up.
So now it's time for our next book - James. I am so excited about this one. The whole premise of James is to grow mature Christians. I believe churches are full of immature Christians and that is the root of many problems churces face. Unfortunately maturity in Christ doesn't come with time, but with putting God's Word into practice. You can be in church all your life and be very immature!
We were supposed to start it last night, so I've been studying ch.1 all week. At the last minute, we decided to postpone it until next week, but not wanting to flake, we gathered everyone together for just the dinner part of our study.
Well, eventually that turned into a "SingStar" night with everyone there, including the little kids singing to the karaoke-style game. Personally, I went with "I Will Survive". Tim sang quite a few. He really is a closet rock star. Chandler and Regan entertained us with "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and "Bad Day." I could tell you the others and their song choices, but you know how Bible studies are - what happens in Bible study stays in Bible study. Let's just say that someone with long blond hair... channeled Brittany Spears for our finale with "One More Time", and I swear you could not tell it wasn't Brittany herself!
Hmmm... singing Brittany Spears at our Bible study?!? What kind of a Bible study IS this!?!
Next week, James chapter one. I can't wait.

So, will your challenge question at Bible study next week be, "Would mature Christians be singing a Britney Spears song in front of your children?" LOL.
That was a fun night, amazing people, great food and lots of fun. I guess I am a closet rock star, but now I'm out of the closet!! Wait, that didn't come out right.
Anyways, I too am looking forward to studying God's words through the book of James.
We meet Sunday nights if anyone wants to join us.

Michelle,
I am a fairly new Christian and I must say I wish I was able to go to your church and be in your groups, you have so much interesting things that I find very useful in my own life. So thank you for that. Keep teaching..........
