A new and exciting challenge has been laid at my feet. In total dependence upon God I have received my marching orders. It has been a true delight to meet with nine faithful women in our home and focus our attention on the lessons God has for us each week.
We have completed our first book, As A Man Thinketh, by James Allen. Weekly reading assignments were given out along with occasional writing or journaling assignments. The members have responded with overwhelming appreciation for what the Lord has been doing in their hearts and minds. We have exercised our muscles of discernment as we dissected Mr. Allen's work. We have been made acutely aware of anti-Biblical thinking patterns in our lives and have been challenged to place the filter of Philippians 4:8 at the gateway of our minds. What a blessing!
A close walk with the Saviour is not a thing of chance or favor, it is the result of systematic, diligent, persistent work on the part of the soul which is desperately dependent upon His marvelous grace.
The
Society of the Desperately Dependent
Acknowledging
our complete dependence upon our loving Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ: "Unto Thee and Thee only!" For without Him we can do nothing of
any lasting value.
Seeking
to
grow in knowledge and wisdom through the diligent study of His Word,
the dear and precious Bible.
We
are treasure seekers, mining for goodness, to the end that our glory
may sing praise to God and not be silent. Psalm 30:12.
Feeding
the soul, the body, the spirit and the mind that which is
beautiful, pure and good for our edification and for the purpose of
strengthening the inner man and therefore increasing the effects of
our influence in the sphere in which we have been placed by God.
“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, according as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue.”
2 Peter 1:2-3
“Make
me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy
wondrous works.” Psalm 119:27
“Teach
me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear
thy name.” Psalm 86:11
“...saith
the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and
of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.” Isaiah 65:2
