Knowing God vs. Obeying His Commandments

Argh. Only had 6 people show up for Bible Study tonight. I think we started with 13 seven weeks ago. There's probably nothing that frustrates me as much or makes me feel as worthless as the fact that this seems to happen every time we do a study. I just don't have that 'cheerleader quality' to keep people interested. You'd think I would be over it by now, but...

Anyway, it was at least a good discussion. Usually seems to be that way.

I had one thought that I wanted to remember: Yancey asked the question, "What's the difference between knowing God and obeying God's commandments?" I said,
Knowing God means you know you can't obey his commandments, and not knowing God means you think you can obey them (in your own power).
Well, that's about it. Happy Thanksgiving!
