Jeremiah 11

Last night we looked at the chapter where Jeremiah speaks of being a lamb for the slaughter... the chapter where God tells Jeremiah to stop praying for his people... where a Plot arises against the Lord, and against Jeremiah. The chapter where Jeremiah's own clan tells him that they'll kill him if he continues to prophesy in the Name...

Jeremiah Ten, Again

We came back to Jeremiah Ten, last tuesday, with a bunch of guests at the table... It was a great study. We bounced from the verse about expert Idol makers, to a discussion of "expertness" that led us to an examination of Wisdom.

There is worldly wisdom.
There is godly wisdom.

We checked them out, and saw how the wisdom of the world is often used to "dress idols". The study ran from about 7pm to 11pm... Greetings to Mike and Emily (thanks for helping in the kitchen).
You need to know that I preached against the UFC this week. We should talk...

Peace to johntheGodhiker who brought Mike and Emily. You enrich our study with your intensity. gogogogogo!
JP, Zach, Chris, Lawless... all of you who sat at the table... Blessings!
