Kicked Out

Two days ago, I went for my last bible class. It was final. I was getting kicked out. There was no way they would let me back in after being absent for three times consecutively; not even when the reason of my absence was to lead a mission team abroad.

The Bible Study Fellowship is a superb study, and what worked for me was the sense of discipline it instilled during my 7-year study with them. Every week for 7 years I would go to the lecture and get the notes. Every day of those years I would be doing homework on a particular passage or text.

Unbeknownst to me, those days, weeks and years of study were really very foundational building blocks in spiritual growth. I wouldn't really trade them for anything.

So in a way it is good for me to leave the class, in order to make way for many on the waitlist whom are trying to get in and enjoy the privilege of studying and understanding God's truth for themselves.

And it is also time for me to teach and share what I have gained.
