I made a start on the course last night. Perhaps some of the books I already have will be useful. I expect this to be an upward climb, but an enjoyable one. I want it to open doors.
One message I have heard from a number of sources is all about using time. One can only have now. One cannot redeem time from the past, nor can one do things in the future. Things can only be done now.
At the mens conference last Saturday one of the things that was mentioned is that men are very good at filling up time with things that are not all that important.
We also so not meet to talk like women do. Men talk around doing things.
As far as the course is concerned, I am now underway and I have emailed my tutor to let him know.

I am a film star.
We Filmed "Good with Food" last night. I really enjoyed the experience and hope to make some use of it for my video prayer bulletins.
It was a good experience. It makes me feel I made a contibution to the theatre and to the council, and on the 20th of October, I have the opportunity to see my own performace.
Filming took four hours and the film itself should last three and a half minutes. I am looking forward to seeing it.

God must want me to have the book
At the mens conference. A certain man bought a book for me as a gift. God must want me to have it. I have spent so much money on books in this past week that I was not going to buy any more. I know the book is about the trinity and I trust that it will take me deeper into the word of God.
Jesus is my boyfriend
I went to a mens meeting today. It was all about evangelism and church planting and how men communicate and that we are designed to lead. I have no problem with that. In the workshop when we looked at barriers to mens evangelism one man said, " We need less Jesus is my Boyfriend Songs". This is true, I cannot relate to that sort of song as I am a man.
the question of men and the church has been around all my life. We need to see men coming to the lord and that is going to mean change.

First to the Jew
Having been at last nights meeting, and over the past few days bought a number of books, I see that the subject of "To the Jew first" came up again and this is being put forward as a biblical patern.
I see it purely as a historical fact and cannot see one scripture that says that this is an established pattern for all time or that it was ever an established patern. Paul said to the Jew first because he was addressing the Romans and was in no way claiming that they have a priority yet I see a doctrine has been established around these words. It so happnens that the people I have heard proclaim this to other believers who are not Jews have been messianic Jews.
There is a great danger that people could love Isreal more than they love the lord.
Where has it come from? Who or what started it for it is certainly not the scriptures.
Paul wanted to see the jews, his own race saved. this is good and right
However he also had a lot to say about the circumcised in heart and how we are the decendants of Abraham and this tends not to come up in these meetings. It means that I am a jew.
Gods plan for any jew is the same as for anyone else. Repent and believe in the lord Jesus Christ. If you do not, you will face the lord as your judge and be damned.
Someone once said to me, "God chose the jews, he could just as easily have chosen the gentiles"

Passover
I attended a passover meal on Monday. This was the third time that I have done this and I always find it an education. One can see the Gospel in it, if only present day Jews could see it in greater number. They are still looking for a messiah, who came a long time ago, and they are still looking for Elijah to return and we know that refered to John the Baptist and they cannot see it.

Watch and Pray
I prayed, I did what I promised the lord I would do and now a I pray all the more for the results. I will check at the end of the week.
I feel like Abrahams servant who prayed and then watched as Gods providence concerning racheal unfolded. #
There is much to be said for the old song and saying, "Watch and Pray".
