Discovering the Real Jesus in Monroe

Last week I taught at Palmer Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. I’ve taught in their doctoral program since 1996. Here’s a picture of the students in this my class – what a great group of people. I feel deeply privileged to have been with them and teach them.

In the next six weeks they will do the main assignment, which is: pray 5 days a week, one hour a day, for six weeks. I have asked them to keep a spiritual journal. The spiritual journal is this: when God speaks to you, write it down.

I’ve asked them to use an incredible devotional book called A Guide to Prayer for Ministers and Other Servants. Back in the 1980s I used this book for my prayer times for two years.
