The first thing Erline said this morning when she woke up was "I don't feel like learning anymore." I think we are all feeling it now. It hasn't been overwhelming, but we see the finish line. I think most of us are just eager to put this stuff into practice.
Today has been great. Something hit me this morning. John 15:5 says "without me (Jesus) you can do nothing. Luke 2:37 says with God nothing is impossible. So with God, we can do anything!
We had a case study from what God is doing in Tunisia, which was encouraging. God is at work all over the world. We also learned many practical things from our final teacher about church planting, such as MAWL (model, assist, watch and launch) to get people moving and sharing the Gospel. It is amazing how long we wait in the west to train people to share the Gospel with others. Maybe it is our individualist thinking, which isn't all bad, but that we need to get to a certain level in our relationship with God before He can use us. It didn't take very long for the Lord to use Paul. We must encourage those we are discipling to do the work of the ministry as well. They can reach those that we cannot reach ourselves.
2 Timothy 2:2 And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust to faithful men, that they will be able to teach others also.
Anyway, we will be hanging out with the Johnsons tonight. By the way, I got a higher score than Erline in bowling last night, so that means she will be watching the Dark Knight Rises again with me. I guess we're a little competitive :)
