For whosoever exalts himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted. (Luke 14:11)
ибо всякий возвышающий сам себя унижен будет, а унижающий себя возвысится. (От Луки 14:11 Russian)
Our Dear Father in Heaven, we honor Your name as Holy ~ Forgive our sins as we forgive those who are indebted to us for some wrong we have endured. Give us wisdom so that we will practice sincere humility even as we show proper respect for other people. Through Christ Jesus we pray, Amen.
Our session at the university yesterday lasted about two hours and involved excellent discussion and gave me another opportunity to describe God's wonderful plan for all humanity to be one in Christ. We were with the best and brightest 5th year students in a round table discussion atmosphere. The English of most of these students is impeccable. One young woman, who helps as a student assistant, came up after the class had left the room and told how she always knew that God exists, but she confessed she doesn't know anything about the Bible. We have an appointment on Monday since she is going out of town for a few days. Yesterday afternoon before our Tuesday night Bible study, we had an excellent study with our newest regular visitor - Evgenia. When I questioned her about her faith, repentance and baptism, since we have been discussing it rather thoroughly, she said with a quizzical look at me, "that's why I'm taking these lessons to know how to become a Christian!" Today at 4.00, before our Wednesday night Bible study, we have a Bible study scheduled with Luda and Stepan. Our little kitchen planning board stays full and we hardly have time to keep it updated. Thank you for your fervent prayers for this soul saving and church planting effort.
