Well, the brothers did it again!

We met this past Saturday for another Choppin it Up session and it was everything we anticipated and more.  I have said it before, but I never tire of saying it.  The men of East Point Church are an indispensable encouragement to me.  God has been pleased to bring to our fellowship men who desire to know the truth and apply it to life.  And though at times the truth is hard, they do not shy away from it and the need to keep each other accountable to it.  This was never more on display than this weekend when we took up the hard and yet glorious topic of Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage.

The conversation was serious and sober.  The food was equally unforgettable.  There was the whole range of emotions as we shared and challenged each other to see marriage, divorce, and remarriage as the Scriptures see them.  I have looked at these issues for years and yet I can honestly say that I have never been more edified, encouraged, or challenged on these issues as I was this past weekend.   There was differences of opinions and challenges to interpretations.  There were passionate pleas and hopeful encouragements.  And yet in the end, the brothers who sharpened each other did so with a mind toward the gospel and the knowledge that where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more.  I love these brothers because they remind me that the gospel trumps it all!

Can’t wait for the next one!!
