As for today’s Catch, I suggest as many as can, download Marti’s study and spend some time with it. It’s very useful whether you take the course or not. And remember, if you are unable to join us tonight but would still like to listen in on the study at your own convenience, a recording will be available afterward by dialing 218/237-3850, using access code 124393 and recording number 092111.

And finally, for those of you who don’t have time for any of this and just want to read a Catch for today, I’m going to copy a section from Marti’s study where she describes a place she commonly goes in her mind – the lap of God, engulfed in His robe of righteousness.

Having a hard time finding yourself under His robes with just your nose sticking out from an opening in the material near His chest?  It is understandable. We spend most of our lives performing for our mates, our bosses, our community, and our churches.

But I want you to go where the Father is and He is on the other side of the cross, where He smells the fragrance of His son in you. He is telling you He loves you and that He approves of you – just the way you are. You are His family and He loves you more than anyone else. He cherishes you.

Listen as He whispers in your ear that you are welcome to serve Him in whatever way your heart delights in doing. Truly. No strings attached.

He breathes, “I love you my very own child, the love of my life with all that I am as God. Come, peak out from under my sleeve and see what I see. Look and you will know where I am. Is there a place that you would like to join me? Just tell me where. I will take you with me and as a result, people will know that I am God.”

The New Covenant – Nothing from us and everything from God – now that is Good News.

Hope to see you tonight!
