I’ve spent the last week in bear country. Everywhere you go there are signs giving warnings, telling you what to do and what not to do. Don’t leave food out. Carry bear spray. Travel in groups. Don’t go off the trail. Now these are all things that you are to do before you actually meet a bear. You do everything you can to avoid the encounter. But when you actually meet a bear, the rules change. There’s no more avoidance. For most of us, our proclivity would then be to run. Get out of the way of danger. Flee the scene as fast as you can.
The Spirit can make life. Sheer muscle and willpower don’t make anything happen. Every word I’ve spoken to you is a Spirit-word, and so it is life-making. – Jesus, John 6:63 (MSG)
What are the things that make our lives? Recently I spent some time in the mountains with a group of teenagers and we talked about what the loudest voices in our lives were. In this we looked at what things took our time, energy and attention.
Ondray is back to finish up this two-part blog on Life Groups at Cross Culture. If you missed last week's, you can find it here.
