Sing to the LORD a new song,
his praise from the ends of the earth,
you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it,
you islands, and all who live in them.
Let the desert and its towns raise their voices;
let the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice.
Let the people of Sela sing for joy;
let them shout from the mountaintops.
Let them give glory to the LORD
and proclaim his praise in the islands.
My brothers and sisters in Christ,
I was most disturbed today in the cafeteria. Brother Scott introduced the "Scripture Corner" where you can read scripture that you feel led to read or a word that is encouraging. This is not what disturbs me; I was pleased that this was introduced. Immediately he told them that he believed that the part he was gonna read was meant for them. Now as he was reading I noticed the people who had been there from that moment on had very little interest. How unfortunate was that and even more appalling when a person I knew who was sitting at the table with me made a joke saying, "Cory, you should stone him, he's preaching in public." Furthermore, I went to a brother elsewhere and he stated that they couldn't hear him, it was the first
day, and people go in and out at different times.
I understand and accept that it was the first time and will weight it out through the week. I may even accept that they could not hear him, however I did not see crowds gathering close to hear God's Scripture being spoken. There were a few (Praise the LORD) who gathered to ask him what this was about at the end. This is unfortunate and though I am young and have much to learn I cannot imagine Paul, or Jeremiah or even Isaiah (from which Scott was reading) would have let this simply be a passing thing. But as I mentioned I will
wait and see.
