Grow in the grace & knowledge of our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ.
It’s not what you think about it, it’s not what they think about it. It’s what God thinks about it. If we keep relying on people’s thoughts on matters of life, we’ll be all over the map with opinions. Even the secular world we live in heavily relies in many areas on morals established by God, although they deny biblical principles as the source.
6:30am.It’s still dark outside. Cars one by one pull into the parking lot. Coffee shop opens at 7:00, but today they let the group of young people in half an hour earlier. Smell of great coffee quickly awakens the mind. Edison style light bulbs light up a modern conference room. Russian and English Bibles of all shapes and sizes are spread out on the long wooden table. Modern day disciples of Jesus came to read the Word with the ultimate goal of doing the will of the Father.
We are broken people. Broken beyond repair. There’s no way for an improvement or update. And Jesus is the only solution to this problem. Through Him we are born again into a new family, with new hope and future.
I’ve heard it before and then many times after, but where this reflection on learning got engraved in my mind is during the training months at Skagit County Fire Academy.
