Assignments/Checklist for January 8, 2011 Meeting

Theme: The Holy Spirit and Obedience It is impossible to live as a disciple of Jesus Christ unless you are empowered to do so by the Holy Spirit. The New Birth, fellowship with God, inner transformation, gifts for ministry and power for mission are each the work of the indwelling Spirit. In some circles the Holy Spirit is overemphasized and in others He is largely ignored. As a result, many believers lack the understanding and power to live as faithful and fruitful disciples of Jesus. In this section, we will seek to understand what the Bible teaches about the Holy Spirit and experience all that is offered by the Holy Spirit. Our goal is to recognize the necessity of the Holy Spirit’s indwelling presence to empower us for obedient living and effective ministry and to be filled with the Spirit.

  • Remembering Chuck Colson
    We at the C.S. Lewis Institute give thanks to God for the life of our dear friend and brother, Chuck Colson. He was a great example of wholehearted commitment to Christ and His kingdom for people around the world. And he was also great encourager of our work over the years, as a friend, advisor, and in other ways. Our prayers are with Patty and the family during this difficult time. And with them we carry on in the sure and certain hope of the resurrection. Until then, we continue, as Chuck did, to run with perseverance the race that is set before us, keeping our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.Read More...

  • Ten Letters
    I've been spending more time in prayer lately, feeling convicted that I need to be listening more and being more open to what God is doing and wants to do in my life.  If you’re like me, you go through periods when busyness crowds out discernment, and activities crowd out time to listen.Read More...

Quote of the Week
"There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them."
