As promised, I am using my Friday blog to talk about WorldMovers readings. However, as we know, this Sunday will be a potluck so Sunday School will not be in session. If we were keeping with our regular schedule, we would skip the cover story and talk about the rest of the issue the following Sunday, Dec. 11. However, the cover story in this issue has so much relevance for us here in southern Arizona, that we need not to skip it, so on December 11 we will be discussing the cover story of illegal immigration. As always, be prepared to think through this issue scripturally, not just emotionally or politically.
It might be a good time to remind oursleves of the essential purposes of World Movers class:
1. To keep informed: "And in the morning, It will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?" Matthew 16:3
2. To seek Biblical wisdom: "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." Acts 17:11
3. To prepare ourselves to speak wisely: "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:" I Peter 3:15
4. To bring the urgent issues of our day before the heart of God in prayer: "Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me." Micah 7:7
