Sententia

Monday we painted a Restoration Ministries house. The local government had recently donated it to them. Restoration Ministries (the guys that live in Harvey House) then fixes it up, sells it, and pockets the profit. The government makes money on the property tax, and the community has one less vacant, ugly, foreclosed house, a win for everyone.
In the evening we went to Branden House, which is a secular drug and alcohol rehab/withdrawal program, for a bible study with some of the Harvey House guys. We heard a provocative message about the lies of Satan and Fear and the Spirit of God and Faith. We heard a lot of practical suggestions in the form of particular verses from the Bible. The speaker was Barb, the wife of the pastor at Spirit of God Church, which started Restoration Ministries. She also brought up the subject of illness and evil spirits. It rubbed some of our group the wrong way, but it brought up good conversation that needs to be had. I always believe that If everyone agrees with a certain speaker, that speaker really didn’t say anything.
