We had Sunday School at 9:45. A man named Charles led the Bible Study. He read Proverbs 7 and said that Satan entices us in his ways and doesn't want us to worship. He said that God protects us and helps us to avoid circumstances. He gave an example that he was scheduled to be in a certain town but there was a delay. The town that he was scheduled to be in then had a tornado hit and he could have been affected by it if not for the delay. He then prayed for the Bible Study.
He said that anything we place above of God we make and idol and worship. We need to tone down and listen to God and not forsake meeting together. He said that the Church is in us. When you are trying to learn something, you learn more by doing yourself than by hearing and seeing. That is why personal studying of God's word is so important. You can get more by studying and sharing God's word than by just siting and listening. We touch God's word by touching everything because God has created everything.
In Genesis, it was Adam's choice to take the apple. When people do sinful things they sometimes do it at night in the dark because they think they can hide from God. But God know the things we do in secret. Charles refers to the story of Joseph in the Bible where the woman is trying to trick him into adultery. Charles said that when Christ comes back he will be like a thief in the night. He said that people today spend money on foolish things while some families starve. People are deceiving themselves on the path to Hell. They should repent and turn away from the path they are on. Shack (the ABS minister who brought us to the church) said that verse 25 in Proverbs 7 talks about how we should not let our hearts turn astray. He said that in Romans 12 it talks about how we should be careful everyday what we think about.
Charles mentioned that they have a dress code where he works at and that this one woman came to work with a tank-top on. He said that we are not to entice or deceive one another. We should be appropriate as if we are having lunch with God. Shack said that sometimes when we think about sining it shows the condition of our hearts. Charles said to pray about it and that God's outreach to us is a blessing. He said that in verse 21 of Proverbs 7 it talks about the speech of someone who is trying to lure us away from God and mentions love. Shack said that our society doesn't know what love is and warps the idea of love. Charles said that for us to study God's word is a blessing. God should be 1st in our lives but sometimes we don't get our priorities straight. He prayed and we were dismissed.
