Thanks Simon – If we have that anticipation, God doesn’t disappoint. It is the disaffected heart that tends to be disappointed . . .

Thanks Rob, God certainly is a master teacher at every level – including going to whatever lengths necessary to capture the attention of the “students”!

Hi Peter

Delighted to hear Cor Deo is going well. I had the feeling that all would be successful.

I always like to dwell on the diversity we find in the Bible. I am in awe of the fact that we serve a God who has the amazing ability to communicate to us all on every given day in a way that is apt.

It really keeps us awake and anticipating what else God is going to say.

The idea of reinforcing the impact makes me think of good education. I believe it was Piaget (but it might have been someone else) who said something like (and I paraphrase), “The teacher who thinks that the student hears what the teacher means to say is naive.” The suggested solution? Teach the same thing multiple ways, so as to minimize distortion and maximize understanding/ownership. I’m so thankful God says ‘the same thing’ multiple ways, because I’m far too often slow to learn!
