Monday November 10th

We had our potluck today, and also a nice time of fellowship.

Today Mike shared about Diligence and Perseverance.

Diligence is leaving or showing care, being conscientious, having a steady and earnest effort.

Perseverance is a steadfastness through difficulty when there is a delay in acheiving one's goal.

Proverbs 22:29

Mike has a friend who always says, It it were easy, everyone would be doing it.

Luke 15:8

How does God speak to us? The main ways He will speak to us are through:
1. Prayer
2. The Word, the Bible
3. Church (the speaker)

Hebrews 11:6 Be honest with ourselves. There could be something in our lives that God is trying to show us that we may not wish to deal with.

Exodus 15:26

Proverbs 12:27

Proverbs 4:23

Galatians 6:9

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Finally, Kate talked about Manja Tamang a preacher from Nepal who was unjustly imprisoned. He was walking and discovered a body, and then was falsely accused of being the murderer. He then was sentenced to 20 years in prison (more of the story is here).
