Happy New Year!
We had the intention of discussing how to be charitable when communicating with others, but as happens often in our fellowship sessions - the Holy Spirit took over. The men were struck by the featured scripture selection, and in particular we spent a lot of time discussing James 1:23 - “For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his own face in a mirror.” It was wonderful to hear the different interpretations of how that passage spoke to the different men, and to hear how some heard that as searching for Jesus when looking at yourself in the mirror; and for others it reminded them how instead of looking at ourselves in a mirror, we should be looking through a window to view what others are doing - so we can find where we need to be of service.
We welcomed a new guy this morning, Frank, and it was awesome how quickly he felt comfortable to contribute his thoughts to the discussion.
