Book Club at Starbucks

It really does help to meet in person! There was so much to talk about, but our thoughts became focused as we all began to relate the impact Chapter 4 has had on our hearts. We are continuing to read and re-read Chapter 4. If we’ve been able to move past Chapter 4, we’re stuck again on Chapter 7. Regarding ungodliness, we get it! All of us thought of ungodliness as wickedness, and now see it as the root of our sin. Once we’ve understood the correct definitions of saint, gospel, ungodliness… some major restructuring has taken place in our minds. Our foundations are getting stronger. Thanks be to God through Mr. Bridges for having the foresight to give us foundational tools in Chapters 1 – 6 before delving into discussion of the expression of our sins. We agreed we need this book and we are grateful to be reading it together!

We talked about practical things to do to increase our thoughts of God during busy days. I think you will appreciate these three suggestions:
A classic read, Practicing the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence
God’s Minute, to receive daily devotions delivered to your inbox go to www.godsminute.com
And by using the Bible on cd and devotionals on cd we can make the time spent in our cars more effective for God.

Keep reading. Keep commenting. Do not get discouraged. Pray. Be as honest with God as you know how. We have one more month of reading and in one more month I'm counting on improvement. It has already begun in our hearts and soon will work its way to our attitudes and actions.

We’re going to do in-person Book Club again – I’ll let you know when and where!
