The Word Alone

Dietrich Bonhoeffer observes in Life Together, "(Avoid) the net of self-centered introspection....There is no more time to observe ourselves in meditation than there is in Christian life as a whole. We should pay attention to the Word alone, and leave it to the Word to deal effectively with everything....If you seek God alone, you will gain happiness..."

So we absorb the Word in all the words.

Starting on Thursday, September 27, 7 p.m., at the church we will begin to read the words and the Word with the help of our Bibles and copies of the new Transformation Journal. We will pray and study--and so we will also grow in love toward God and toward our neighbor. Please count this as an invitation to join this form of Covenant Discipleship group. We will study and discuss the important things in life. All are welcome. I will help to guide the study. Perhaps together we will "gain happiness" and learn to "leave it to the Word..." Please call or e-mail me if you would like to join the group.
