In spite of the dire warnings of being encapsulated in a ice cave we had a great turnout. Maybe some of the guys were hoping that we would be snow bound and live on polish dogs, double chocolate brownies, and Manderin orange cake for the next day or so. Of course we had our proverbial strawberry lemonade to give us energy also.
We finished watching our DVD that showed that people are not always interested in truth but often like to believe in things that appeal to their desire of being able to raise their heavenly status through works and achievements. Verses like "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Rom 3:23, doesn't satisfy our sense of being a good person and we should be rewarded for being better that a lot of people. Jack shared his testimony of how God reached down and touched his life at the moment he was thinking, I'm glad I'm not like that loser over there.
Pastor Bob pointed out how our lives are living epistles to show God's unconditional love to those around us. It's not works but God's grace that redeems us. Eph. 2:8... A great way to finished our study on Truth and the Gospel.
