The second challenge I have been giving to the Confirmation candidates deals with the Word of God. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we should be reading and reflecting on the Word of God on a regular basis. For the Word of God forms, corrects, encourages and strengthens us in our walk with God. But we are called to be disciple/witnesses as well. This means to be part of a bible study group, inviting others to study and share the Word with us. It is the "Come and see" invitation that the early disciples used to bring people to meet Jesus, who in turn will teach, convict and grace them. The study group is never to be closed entity, but always inviting others to come and share. If you are not part of a bible study group, ask the Spirit to put on your heart the people to ask to begin one. If you are part of a group, ask God whom does he want you to invite to share with you. Come, Holy Spirit, come!
