had large group meeting last night, minh spoke on the importance and value of scripture memory. told us how the emphasis on scripture memory in navigators started. apparently, the founder of navigators first started going to church coz he was interested in this girl. the girl's church was having a scripture memory competition, so in order to impress her he learnt all of the different verses and knew them very well. and after a while they kept jumping out at him, when he walked along the street, romans 3:23 would come to his mind, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God", until one day he couldn't take it anymore, he decided to become a christian. pretty amazing story, but yeah...since then, he became a firm believer in the value of scripture memory. yeah...that wasn't the main point of the message of course, talked about treating God's word as a precious treasure, and it is too! it's amazing how you can just flip open the bible and have something written so long ago totally speak to your current situation. all scripture is God-breathed and inspired by the holy spirit. maybe coz i've always been a person of word, but the more i read it the more i find the bible a beautifully written book. after large group, we all went to get supper and minh gave everybody a treat again, super generous grandpa smurf! going to miss him, he returns to LA today.
can't believe it's friday already, this week has absolutely sped by, probably coz of the holiday on tuesday that sort of cut the week into 2 short weeks...but hey, i'm not complaining that the weekend's here. tomorrow i'm finally going to see the matrix. this time, i'm determined i will see it!
