Chinese Bible study

I went to a Chinese Bible study over the weekend, and noticed something special. There is room for silence and reflection.

This impressed me because so often in my generation/culture, there seems to be such a buzz of discussion or activity, needed and expected.

It also makes me think about how often I leave room in my daily walk with God for silence, listening to Him, and reflecting on what He says through His Word.

Mixing with other cultures is healthy, it's beautiful to see how a variety of cultures worships the Lord. Actually, I am Chinese by heritage, so I'm sort of just going back to my own roots

  1. Blenda, This is an exciting time for you. Silence is golden.. and in my last few years after the hurricane, I have been on a journey. Christianity is still my foundation, but I think it is crucial to come to understand the spiritual life that Christ himself had. Nature and quiet is lost from our society. Therefore, when we have the opportunity to connect with it ...we are able to hear from God. I try to use meditation and connect with nature regularly. It is during this time, God speaks to my spirit and I hear HIs voice. The more I spend this time with Him, the more keen His voice all through the day.
    Blessings,
