POWER GROUP....
Tonight I had my first power group meeting. What a blessing.
[P-prayer O-openness W-Word E-encouragement R-responsibility]
This semester in CI our power groups are doing a study outside of Wednesday nights on walking in the Spirit... Galatians 5. Tonight was such an encouragement. We spent our time talking about Christian liberty, what it is, how do we approach our liberty in Christ. Is it freedom to do whatever we want, or is it the ability to live life free of sin... through the precious cross of Christ? Of course it's the latter of the two.
We discussed our responsibility as believers... we discussed the difference between preferences and convictions and how we are to respond when others offend our preference vs commiting clear Biblical sin. How are we to respond... of course, in love. No matter if somebody is knowledgably in sin or not, love. And the other question is, when do we forebear and realize that HEY, this isn't a big deal?!
It was quite the discussion and such a blessing. I love the body of Christ and the fact that while the finger and toe look completely different, they each have a purpose. :)
Thankful for encouragement in the Word tonight... and friendship.
And also... went swing dancing at EDGARS underground here in Clemson after Bible study, which was a blast! ALL-IN-ALL, a great day!
One Campbell, Thankful and Condensed
