Today’s Thought “When Class Is Adjourned” G. Ward

John 8:31-32

So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly My disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

 

Perhaps it all began with Grandmother’s great preparation that included the illustrious hat, so fanciful, along with all she did that circumvented that great day with such an elaborate meal anticipated when you departed in what seemed to be the longest discourse by a preacher who thought too highly of himself, neglecting to see the exasperated looks on faces in the audience? Is that what keeps you from being found consistently in worship services, including mid-week discipleship courses? Have any through what’s deemed an unnecessary process deduced great tolerance from an All-Wise Creator, who doubted Himself when He insisted intimacy with Him is the determinant of faith and is solidified via a consistent gathering with other worshippers (*Heb.10:25)?

It appears Grandmother was correct is devoting the equivalency of 3.5 hours (weekly) to corporate worship, while enjoining herself to 164.5 hours (each week) to individualized pursuit in holy living, while endeavoring additional study at home (*Ac.17:11, 2 Ti.2:15, Heb.4:16).
