It is January 22 and we are in full swing with our computer training at NEGST. Today will be a full day of computer training. Tina Miles and the VBS team will be entertaining the children at NEGST with games, songs, and some special gifts. We have been encouraged at the number of students participating in training classes.
This blog will also be used to answer student questions after we return to the USA.
As I read today's meditation, I thought it applies in many ways to our team, except for the rest part as many on the team are still experiencing jet lag.
And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.
—Exodus 33:14-15
In what I have to say I may not be joined by any ground swell of public opinion, but I have a charge to make against the Church. We are not consciously aware of God in our midst. We do not seem to sense the tragedy of having almost completely lost the awareness of His presence.
I do not say that to condemn. I say it with a grieving spirit. I pray that the churches in this day may yet reap the joys and fruits of gracious revival and the deep inward awareness of God's presence.
Revival and blessing come to the Church when we stop looking at a picture of God and look at God Himself. Revival comes when, no longer satisfied just to know about a God in history, we meet the conditions of finding Him in living, personal experience....
Modern mankind can go everywhere, do everything and be completely curious about the universe. But only a rare person now and then is curious enough to want to know God.
