Wednesday, March 11, 2009: Manna Food Center, Stuff a Bus event. It is at the Whole Foods Store in Gaithersburg, Maryland from 6pm to 9pm. We will be encouraging shoppers to purchase food for the hungry in Montgomery County. Other jobs include bagging groceries and putting food in the bus. It’s a great opportunity to serve.

Read Psalm 63, Isaiah 43:6-7, and Psalm 19:1.

What do these verses teach us about God?
What is necessary to be a worshipper of God?

For further reflection, complete the journal at home section that reads
Deuteronomy 10:12-13.

Also, please bring $10 Wednesday evening for a copy of the journal.
I found a free downloadable copy of the The Pursuit of God by AW Tozer.

Here is a quote from Tozer beginning chapter 1, “Christian theology teaches the doctrine of prevenient grace, which briefly stated, means that before a man can seek God, God must have sought the man…We pursue God because, and only because, He has first put the urge within us that spurs us to the pursuit. ‘No man can come to me,’ said our Lord, ‘except the Father which hat sent me to draw him (John 6:44)’” (Tozer 11).

Wednesday, we will learn about the Idolatrous Heart.
