Today we learned more about YWAM, and more about what the Bible says too.
A couple of interesting things from today's teaching:
- The second part of The Ten Commandments, about interaction with others, are not a disconnected list of "Do's and Dont's". They are a list of ways to choose life, and not deny the lives of others.
- God never says he was the "God of Joseph", as he says he is the "God of Abraham", and others. This seems to be as Joseph abused his position of power, and enslaved the Egyptian population (which came back to bite the Israelites later), when he should have sought God's guidance in dealing with the famine to come.
We also had another meeting about India, but it was more of a social meeting, without much more information given.
It has been nice to meet a few more YWAMers, and hope to talk to some more while I'm here. You may notice this post is coming a bit earlier in the day than normal - we haven't actually finished the day yet, but I want to get this done while I can get online on a laptop! I hope you are having a good week.
