The following thought has been posted before; as the Holy Spirit has brought it to my remembrance, I'll pass it on. Regarding the idea of "gleaning", if the fact of disagreeing with one thing that someone says or teaches causes us to no longer listen or receive that person, what does that actually say? It seems to say that unless we can have 100% agreement, then we have nothing. Is this a realistic expectation, to agree with everything a person says or teaches? It also seems to say that we have 100% accuracy in everything we believe, that there is nothing further that we can or need to learn. Isn't this a high level of hubris? Aren't we then unteachable?
On another note those who attended the most recent regional gathering received mutual encouragement and edification. May God continue to work in our hearts.
Was blessed to visit a group near Willimantic, CT. on Sunday. This is the largest of the twenty groups that I visit, a number of homeschooling families, some of whose children have now grown up and married. Shared a little on the themes that I believe that God wanted me to bring back from Brazil, i.e. loving one another and discipleship.
This morning was the inauguration of a men's group. Four of us joined together to share, pray, get in the Word and glorify God. May we not despise the day of small beginnings. (Zech. 4:10)
