This week was the first week of life in seminary, and I must say...Wow! I cannot begin to explain how amazing it is to have the opportunity to study the Bible with some of best Bible teachers in the world today. It is truly a privilege.
This week, Chuck Swindoll gave the message during Wednesday's chapel service, and he warned us that we are entering into one of the most dangerous periods of time in our lives and that we are in the most dangerous place, spiritually speaking. Every day we are open to spiritual attack, but the enemy seems to pay extra attention to seminary students. On Friday, Dr. Pentecost, yes that is his name, delivered the chapel message on Friday. At 93 years old, Dr. Pentecost still teaches and yesterday he taught us that we are to cast our nets where Christ tells us to cast our nets. Our task is not to bring the nets in or bring the "fish." We are to cast the net, God will bring the fish.
It was amazing! Simply amazing!
Thank you to everyone for your prayers!!!! Thank you everyone!

Wow-what a concept-letting God pull in the nets-we are simply to throw them. This is repeated again and again in the Bible, yet it seems like such a fresh new idea! Thanks for sharing that- Praying that you are letting God take care of your details-He is good at that!
It is good to hear the excitement in your voice regarding your studies. I will be praying that your excitement and enthusiasm continues to grow on a daily basis!
Great lesson on casting our nets. I agree with Margaret in what she said. This concept of us casting the net where God tells us to and then allowing Him to bring in the fish did indeed seem like a fresh idea. I think perhaps God is wanting to teach us something here!
You were challenged on your first day of school to guard your spiritual life? Are you able to doing that? Keep us posted as to how we can specifically pray for you. Norm and Christie Seeley send their best to you and want you to know they are lifting you up in prayer. Take care and stay focused and don’t hesitate to let us know should the devil come in hard at you!! Love you! Mom
