I’ve been doing a little reading lately on cafes and their history and influence.  Traditionally, they have been a place for artists, writers and even those on the political fringe to meet to discuss news and various topics.  They are also a great place to get together with a small group to talk about Scripture and what we’ve been studying.  Iron sharpens iron! (Proverbs 27:17)

Motzei Shabbat (Saturday night), after our study at the Study Center, a small group of us went to a nearby cafe to discuss Shmittah.  The cafe was very busy, but the five of us crowded around a tiny table.  As we drank our coffees, Baruch had his Bible out on the table and we had a lively discussion about Scripture.  Do you have a small group you can get together with to discuss something one of you has recently studied in your personal Bible study?

I really enjoy our Saturday night study where we can dive into Scripture and also enjoy fellowship.
