Quote Of The Day

January 29, 2008 8:30 am

Anyone taking Vince’s prayer class?  This quotation may be particularly meaningful:

“Prayer is the language of a man burdened with a sense of need.”
-E.M. Bounds, quoted by Steve Wright, reThink, 118.

Hey Steve,
this doesn’t exactly have to do with this post (though I might add that i’m taking the prayer class), but in french class today we saw something really awesome…we were reading 1 Timothée 4 and one of the verbs we looked up was repousser, which means to push back.
Pretty cool, huh?
We also looked at verse 12, which is one of the ones you preached about at the last five15 meeting:
“Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.”
I probably just gave you a ton of useless information, and most likely no one cares…but you know, if you ever need to tell some french person about the Push Back series, you’ll know which verb to use. :D Hehe.

oh haha Sara, you beat me to it!
Steve,
I’m also in French with Sara and it was my turn to read the chapter this week and when I was looking up words and came across that one, I was like “omigosh!” It was wierd that “repousser” was in the same chapter as the verse you talked about at five15…
