DEEP FAITH Week

Loving God with Heart and Mind

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your mind and with all your strength."
—Mark 12: 30

There is perhaps no simpler command in all scripture than to love God with all of who we are. And yet it may take us a lifetime of continual conversion to offer pure hearts and minds to the One who calls us; a lifetime of learning to receive God’s love for us and respond with open hearts and clear minds.

Much of our work at Gordon College is given to preparing the next generation of Christians to lead and serve in ways that testify to the coming of God’s reign and advance the common good of our communities. Such work can stay on course only when it stems from hearts and minds that are given wholly to God. There are some in our community who have never yielded themselves fully to God and do not know the warmth of His love. There are others whose affections have been dulled by a steady stream of distractions and whose thoughts have become clouded by the twisted logic of individualistic autonomy. There are many more of us who are in need of recommitting ourselves to that which alone deserves our full love and devotion.

This spring, we will make time as a community to invite the Holy Spirit to examine our hearts, quicken our minds and draw us more deeply into the spiritual life. The first full week of February, (6-8th) will be a ‘spiritual emphasis’ week with special morning chapels and evening services. Dr. Michael Ramsden, the European Director of RZIM Zacharias Trust, will be with us. Michael is a gifted apologist and talented communicator whom God has used to call many into a deeper relationship with Himself. It is our prayer that God use this week to root our community more deeply in the life of His Spirit.

SCHEDULE:  (All events are held in A. J. Gordon Memorial Chapel unless otherwise noted.)
