I have no idea what to call this.

 

Well here it is, almost time to go back to Glasgow for a little stunt of joy, and I am truthfully excited in almost every way. I can’t wait to get back into the city I love, I can’t wait to get back to my church, and I certainly can’t wait to have a much needed rest.

 

The Bible College of Wales is certainly a place where you learn, you are shaped, and you are challenged by the bad and the good. I see a college that is in a lot of need of spiritual repair, but at the end of the day I would agree with what Gordon Williamson said on the first day of term.

 

The Bible College of Wales is a place that shapes character.

 

It is certainly that. There are people from many nations, and from many nations there are many cultures. I have learned to cook authentic Chinese cuisine. I have learned to cook authentic Finish rye bread, I have seen how the Koreans prefer to do church and I have witnessed how the Welsh like their Sundays. I have learned about the African church and made new and amazing friends which will last me until the end of their or my days.

 

I have seen how other churches do things, I have had convictions challenged and knocked down, I have become more firm in my faith and less resistant to heretical challenges. I have learned more about God and myself, and become more rounded in my knowledge of scripture.

God is good. He is a God of Change.

 

I came upon one of the greatest sermons I have ever heard/read a few weeks ago. That’s my King by the late Dr. S. M. Lockridge.
