2/21/2006 ComprehensionRecently, I took our fellowship and divided it into groups and gave them an exercise that involved completing as many of the tasks mentioned below in one hour. Afterwards we all gathered together to share what we learned. The point of the exercise was to test them in the seven listed categories. Sharing took place within each group and corporately. It was neat to see what they learned/experienced. Our spiritual comprehension is critical to our witness, our growth and our understanding of God. Perhaps this might be of value to you or to a group of fellow believers you know The Road Home Rally

Inspiration There is all the difference between the comprehension of intellect and the comprehension of spirit. We comprehend a thing by our spirit and feel we know it but cannot express it; it is a knowledge “which surpasses all understanding.”—Oswald Chambers in Bringing Sons Into Glory ©2006 Daniel York ARR.
