The Curse

Today I set the quiz for the Person and Works of Jesus Christ. I am terribly disappointed at some of the responses, especially from some of the guys, who show little interest in studying the Word of God. They can get the question on 'true faith comes from listening to Jesus' correct for all I care, but I can hardly see it in their lives, which is where it really matters. God does not care whether you pass my quiz or not, but He does care whether you are consciously, and by faith, practising what you claim to know. If not, they are all just dead knowledge which you memorize and remember.

I could have ended at question 3. And let everyone go. But what I have observed in the past 3 weeks tell me I cannot simply do so. I edited it at the last moment, before I went out with my family for dinner on Saturday night. And I am glad I made that decision, telling them to "re-examine yourself and pray". Because what I predicted actually came true: a very 'sian' attitude towards learning the Word of God.

Especially the guys. I think Ernest is a very patient leader, and the 4 guys should better appreciate that. If I am faced with the same 4 members who show such little zeal for the Word of God, I'm afraid I might scold them every week.
