So during my morning quiet time I’ve been reading Hebrews. Today was chapter 6. Verses 1-3 were a real kick in the behind (quoted from The Message version):
So come on, let’s leave the preschool fingerpainting exercises on Christ and get on with the grand work of art. Grow up in Christ. The basic foundational truths are in place: turning your back on “salvation by self-help” and turning in trust toward God; baptismal instructions; laying on of hands; resurrection of the dead; eternal judgment. God helping us, we’ll stay true to all that. But there’s so much more. Let’s get on with it!
I assist (and sometimes annoy) the youth director at my church with various high school youth group stuff. Tonight our weekly youth group (Word on Wednesday, a.k.a. WoW) starts back up after a summer break. What a Godincidence it is that I read that passage today. And I read it in the Message Bible that they gave me about a hear and a half ago for Christmas.
