The Seahawks game started at 10 a.m. today, and as a result, our attendance was down. However, we did manage to finish the first chapter with a discussion about first and second thoughts by reviewing some of the parallel characteristics between the first son and the second son in the parable from Matthew 21:28-32. Some of the thoughts were:
First Son . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Second Son
p 14 comic line . . . . . . . . . . . . tragic line
p 16 hearing . . . . . . . . . . . . . . doing
p 17 first thoughts . . . . . . . . . second thoughts
p 17 quick decision . . . . . . . . . lag time from hearing to doing
p 17 did father's will . . . . . . . did not do the will of the father
p 18 easy street speeches . . . harder, longer lasting way of faith
The handout for this week is located at http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dfxkj5fr_2c86gvx You might find section III helpful as you read chapter 2.
Don't forget that Earl Palmer will join us this Wednesday for dinner and discussion from 6-7:30 p.m. in the Praxis classroom. Hope to see you there and in class next week.
Homework is to read chapter 2 - Faith is an Amen Word - "Putting down our weight upon the faithfulness of God . . . in Hebrew 'to have faith' literally means to make secure in God." p. 25
Watch for another post on Wednesday . . .
