Two weeks ago I began a Bible study of Galatians created by World Harvest Mission that has become known by the term "Sonship." Jack Miller, the creator of the study, originally developed this series to assist in discipling pastors, missionaries, and other Christian leaders. He had discovered that few Christians really seemed to know how to live out of grace. He saw many guilt ridden approaches to ministry, an inability to confess and forsake sins with Christs help, and prayerlessness.
The lessons are made up of sermons (from various speakers), memory verses, exercises, encouraging/interesting words, prayer and interacting with others. My family (sans children) will be getting together with another family on Monday evenings for approximately and hour to discuss the material and connect on how the truths of the Gospel is impacting our lives.
This is actually my second go around with the material. Back in 2002 Sarah and I went through the study with a small group of folks from Trinity under the guidance of Tony Giles. While back then Abe was only a few months old and life circumstances were quite different I am re-reading my notes and finding many similarities in my heart condition today. The gospel is "deep music" to believers and I am glad to listen in for the next few months.
