Starting Second Week of Classes

I miss the morning prayer meeting today, but attend the faculty prayer meeting at7:30 am. I preach at morning chapel on the last verses of James 1, being doers of the Word and not hearers only. The Lord gives good liberty; I am able to illustrate that the Word of God must be applied in order to be effective, just as I should have applied sunscreen yesterday, as it did me no good just sitting in the bottle.

The morning class goes well. There are more questions about dispensationalism and I cover the New Covenant in the Old Testament, where the Lord requires of the Jews the circumcision of the heart and not of the flesh only. I meet Judith and we go to meet Peter at the Muthaiga Forex where we have Punjabi chicken with nain at an Indian restaurant. They order the mild for me, and it is wonderfully sweet.

I have a one hour class at the end of the day that meets at 4:00. Just as I am leaving Dr. Carlson comes up the steps to my apartment and we arrange to get together tomorrow evening. I distribute copies of The Reformed Faith by Lorraine Boettner to each student, a gift from the Edmonton Bible Presbyterian Church. We deal also with the covenant obedience of Christ in both his passive and active obedience.

We are at the Yoon’s home for supper tonight. Michelle has made a Korean dish of an omelette with rice inside. There is also fried chicken. Chicken is a special dish in Korea, as it is more expensive than beef. There is an abundance of beef because of the Maasai herds. So I have had a special treat twice today!

I finish writing the test for tomorrow afternoon’s class and get it back down to Eben’s place to print it. I am unable to get to Pastor Lazarus’s house, where I was planning to install the Online Bible on his computer. I hope to be able to do that sometime tomorrow.
