Bible Study Antithesis

We’re going to two different bible studies right now and last night was the “couples” bible study that tends to get a little more rowdy, if you know what I mean. Walt asked us last night if we had any prayer requests. I piped up that Kevin has a concert next weekend. Walt expressed interest in going: “Yeah, man, I’d be your biggest fan there. I’d get in the mosh-pit and scream and yell for you. I’d even throw my boxers on stage! I’d be like ‘Yeah, there’s my man! You go dude!’” The really amazing part about all of this is that I think Walt was serious. Little does he know! In fact, last night, I told him: “Walt, I would pay good money to see you go to one of Kevin’s concerts.” Later on in the evening, I asked Kevin: “Do they really throw boxers on stage at rock concerts?” Kevin replied: “Amy, I have NO idea.” We are just so sheltered!

There’s a new non-Christian couple attending this bible study. It’s been challenging to unearth the basics of the faith again and try to explain things in a way that a non-Christian would understand them. If you’ve been a Christian practically all your life, it’s easy to toss around certain cryptic terminology without realizing it. We simply can’t do that, without further explanation, of course, now that this new couple has joined us. Last night we had some good discussion on Creationism. The “other” bible study we attend is with a group of much more “seasoned” Christians from our church. These people tend to delve into entirely different subject matter than would ever be discussed at our other bible study. I think it’s extremely good for us to go to both bible studies – even though it’s trying (insane, might be a better word) sometimes to fit everything into the schedule.
