Well in away ... they came before as James' LiFE Group, but now return for a visit - emerged as "Episode IV" from Burger King Bangsar.

We managed to read through the Book of Revelation chapter 13-22. It's been quite a while I had the chance of just sitting down and "listening" to big chunks of Scripture. Several words emerged more and certain themes like worship, endurance, perseverance, battle between good and evil, faithful witness for example, just couldn't escape my ears.

At some point I just closed my eyes to allow the words to create the images in my mind, and freely attempt to let whatever feelings or impressions surface.

Of course, to finish reading the book out loud is kind of an accomplishment. And could only be done in a way when we're a group (ah! the power of community), but more than that it's kind of counter-cultural to not pick and choose what to read and just let the words come to us just as they are written. awesome. I felt nourished in a strange way.

I'm excited to come like a new student and learn this "strange" book with the rest of Episode IV.
