Lee
"God used one individual to alter the entire landscape of Christian discipleship as we know it." - (page 148 in regards to Lee Sizemore and "video-driven Bible study")
"From a wheelchair, Lee made the Scriptures handicap accessible to those crippled by life and lost loves." - (page 148)
I sincerely believe that I would not be as deep in my faith at this point in my life if it weren't for online resources.
Move
"Sometimes we wait and wait for God to move, then when He does, we protest that He's moving too fast." - (page 148)
Advice
"Help me, Jesus. I want to be willing to receive good advice even when it shatters my great idea." - (page 149)
Friends
Beth talks about the fact that some friends might distance themselves from you when you're going through a difficult time.
I think sometimes it could be because people prefer not to have other people's "messy". They'd rather have neat, easy, and simple.
Some people back away from other people's "complicated"... or they only get involved to a certain extent... then they choose not to put out the effort or extend themselves any further.
"Praise God, He's never afraid of us or worn out by us." - (page 150)
Fall
From page 151:
"... no one has further to fall than the one who set himself up."
"The humble, on the other hand ... ... will be lifted up in due time."
"All will fall before God's throne. Blessed is he - and blessed is she - who doesn't have far to go."
The above is some stuff I took away from week 6 - day 5. Feel free to leave a comment below with your thoughts and/or things you took away from this day's lesson.
