Apologetics Week

Now that I am actually in the country and do not have a 24 hour a day schedule I want to start back-up my weekly updates.

This week's lecture topic is Apologetics- Equipping us with the tools to give a reason for the hope that we have. 1 Peter 3:15

A brief synopsis of the week:

- The four laws of logic
- Evidence and proofs for the inspiration, authority, and the inerrancy of the bible.
- Classical Arguments for the existence and nature of God
- Light touch of basic Christianity, with a focus on what should be first defended.

In other words it is a good time!!



On a more personal note, I am not only getting to review so much wonderful content but I am also getting chances to teach it! As much as I enjoy it I am really being humbled by it. Turns out it takes a lot more work to teach then it does to learn. *wink* Who would have guessed it!?

In a few weeks I will be fascilitating a week on Jesus's sermon on the mount - specifically the beatitudes. If you think about it please pray that Holy Spirit will be completely free to move in the lives of my students. This is my greatest request. There are 14 students.

Till next time, God bless

Fresh Off the Post

I have shared a little about my plans for January. I think I am gonna go back to school. I have been praying a lot and I think the Lord is leading me in the direction of Rivendell Sanctuary. it is really one of the only schools of its kind. And as of today I have just received the acceptance package.

The package is a lite one, seven simple pages describing the plans for the next two years of life. On the one hand it gives me a lot of peace to have something planned for the next two years of my life on paper. On the other hand, I am having to count the cost once again of what it means to leave everything behind for what I think the Lord is telling me to do.

God has truly blessed me with life here in YWAM Maui, I have friends,family, spheres of influence, seniority in our little microcosm of people - an entire group of people that love me and care for me. But the pinnacle has been the relationship with Him - Jesus. I have encountered Him, learned more about Him, been through time of weeping and times of joy with Him here. I did this all at His call to follow him. And I want to be with Him where He is and I want to go with Him where He goes. So the time is coming to move on.

I will probably take some time in the next few months to reflect back on over four years of journeying with the Lord but for now this post is for a prayer request.

My first two years comes to a total of $48,000 for everything. This price pays for room, board, and all school expenses. And as I write this to you I have $260 saved for it. In my heart I fear that I will believe the lies of satan that say, "This is impossible." And as I sit and wait on the Lord for the truth, He says,

"For grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast." - Ephesians 2:8-9

He has already done the impossible, He saved me.....
God is the God of the impossible. It is His gift. So please be praying for my finances.
