CRU Update

What do you think the most important issue is in our world at the moment? Maybe you are thinking it is social media and technology? Or maybe climate change?

At CRU, this week we continued to look through the Book of Mark and spent another week going deeper into the topic of our ‘hard hearts’. Reverend Anthony Benn importantly mentioned how Jesus says all our evils come from within us. We cannot live by the law since no one is perfect, and we are all dead in sin with hard hearts that are far from God. As Oswald J Smith once said, “The heart of the human problem, is the problem of the human heart.” This doesn’t mean the other problems are not significant, but our sin and hard hearts are our greatest problem.

We then saw in Ezekiel 36:26, God promises to take away our old hearts of stone and provide new hearts of flesh. This is amazing news as God can change our hearts to understand and the Holy Spirit is able to help us listen to God and live for Him. Next week, we look forward to finally answering two questions: “Who is this man?” and “What has he come to do?” We would love to see many boys join us next Friday lunch for the final CRU of the term.
