4 who redeems your life from the pit

   and crowns you with love and compassion,

5 who satisfies your desires with good things

   so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

NEWSFLASH | The Discipline of Humility | Fri 4/1 | Mezzanine Lounge (W20-307)

Welcome to the MIT Graduate Christian Fellowship!
This coming week we have the opportunity to hear about the discipline of humility from Dick Keyes, director of L'Abri Fellowship in Southborough, MA. In addition to his work at L'Abri, which he has done with his wife Mardi since 1979, Dick is the author of multiple books and has been an adjunct professor at Gordon Conwell and Westminster Theological Seminary. In his diverse interests and activities, he "attempt[s] to connect important aspects of modern life to Biblical truth with a theological, apologetic and pastoral concern." Dick also enjoys reading, working in the woods, rowing, and playing blues and ragtime guitar.

At the end, we will also be announcing the plans for a leadership transition taking place over the next month. Think about how you and your friends would like to contribute to the fellowship in the next year!

Event: Dick Keyes - Humility

Community Corner

Last week Peng shared with us why scripture memorization is important: Adore God. Edify and evangelize. Internalize Biblical truth. Obey God's commandments. Understand Scripture.

Spiritual Encouragement

 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

-Romans 12:2
