A Taste of SALT

Written by Jae Yoo

Knowing God, his attributes his character, just some themes that the SALT team were discussing for this year’s retreat. With all Christians it seems that we know of Jesus what He did but we don’t really know who He is. For myself I’ve learned much about why we should obey and serve however the idea of who our Lord Savior really is a difficult concept to describe. In a world of tangibles discussing the abstract is difficult. For myself, in a world of deep issues that surround us learning about the who God is brings a proper perspective back into the craziness of the world. I know there are lots of good books regarding this subject. What we are hoping for from this retreat is an in depth analysis of Knowing who God really is. Having a more practical personality I’m really looking forward to this year’s retreat. I find it difficult to study these types of subject matters on my own and that’s why I’m really excited about our speaker and retreat. We are hoping that this retreat will address a lot of the things that the Prime ministry is hoping to see and hear. I’ve been encouraged especially recently by the Church addressing specific issues that folks may be struggling with. Whether it may be dealing with the economy or learning about God’s attributes relevant subject matters are always exciting to hear and study.

I hate to sound like an advertisement but I’ve always been the sort of person that needs to be encouraged (pushed) to attend functions. I’m hoping the majority of Prime folks are not like me and signup early. This is supposedly the year of change so I’m foreseeing that the this year’s retreat wont be the same as the previous ones. Even though its in the same location I’m sure there will be plenty of surprises.
