Eating the Bread of Life

One of the guys in my church invited me and one other guy to a men's conference at his old church down around D.C. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that it was an all day (9:30 to 2:00) gathering to focus on study of God's Word. For over four hours the pastor of that church walked us through Romans 6 & 7. We dove head first into the Word. It wasn't a swin in the deep end, it was a swim in the middle of the ocean.

I have been so focused on leading our church and preparing for each service (worrying if one part is going to be too long for the complainers) that I have neglected the feeding and nourishment of my own soul.

I hope each one of you, especially the pastors, take the time to feed your soul on the Bread of Life. Never again will I pass over these two chapters in Paul's letter without thinking about the GRACE of God and the death of my former self.

Go with God and feed your flock, friends!
