From the BSF notes: "God is close, powerful, and aware, not only of His historic people of Judah, but of all people of the world."
I've gone three days without prayer. But I am reading our latest book for Next Generation Mentoring. It's called Classic Christianity. The author's basic premise is that the gospel has two parts, and that most Christians are missing the second part. The first part is that God has forgiven us through Jesus' death on the cross. The second part is that we now have access to the Holy Spirit, which leads us to live God-directed lives.
The author points out that while He was on earth, Jesus was human. But He was so in tune with the Father through the Spirit, that He had God's power. The author cited several passages in which Jesus explained that He was doing His Father's will, that He could do nothing apart from the Father, and that the Father was in Him. Then the author exhorted readers to claim that same power for ourselves.
Unfortunately, he ended there, without giving any concrete examples of how to do this!
I have to go--I'll write more later!
