Today we carried on reading Acts in our quiet times. I finished the book today, so continued reading the second book I need to write a report on now that I've finished Blue Like Jazz. This second book is "Spiritual Warfare for every Christian" by Dean Sherman. So far, I'm liking it. The subject is given a very practical and down-to-earth view which reminds the Christian reader that they have authority and victory in Jesus. We then resumed our Prayer For The Nations. Here we prayed again about the persecution of Christians in India. We then continued our studies on The Bible, where we finished off the Old Testament, and started looking at the New Testament. The main point was that The Law was given through Moses, but Grace and Truth was given through Jesus. I liked what the teacher said about the gospels: they are more like a portrait than a photograph: they all feature the truth about Jesus, just from different angles. We had the finish off the teaching today, as our weekend is Friday and Saturday this week as we are going to a YWAM conference next week starting on Sunday. It would have been nice to have gone through all the New Testament books too, but there just wasn't time. We got the main point though: God loves you. After Community Care I packed my bags for the conference and for going to Portsmouth later in the night for a stag party on Saturday (and to see my girlfriend). Then after tea I went to the first part of a final seminar on The Bible, where we started talking about a Acts (which is why we had been reading it this week). Then I left o get my things ready to go to Portsmouth. The journey was very smooth, and involved meeting my parents (who gave me a lift to the station from Holmsted Manor), which was very nice. Thanks for being a part of my journey through this YWAM DTS course.
