This day has been full already with four speakers presenting on different topics. Perhaps the standout experience so far has been a session called "Moments of Grace".
In this session, each delegate to the Brengle Institute has 10 minutes to share their story. Highs, lows, everything in between, with an aim to seek the moments of transformational grace that have impacted them - or the ones that they are still looking for. After dinner tonight we are heading back into the room for another 7 such stories.
In the meantime we've been hearing about holiness in the Bible, spiritual disciplines and care for the soul and the purpose of intercession.
This last topic leads me to the one thought I'll leave on here today:
In Rev 5:8 we are reminded that the prayers of people are incense before God - they please him, they 'smell' good, they are part of worship. In Rev 8:3-5 we are told of how John saw an angel take two powerful ingredients - the fire of God and the prayers of the saints - to do some pretty dramatic and powerful things on earth. Worth noting.
