Greed for the Apostles' Creed


I began a new Wednesday night devotional study this week. I hesitantly decided to walk through the Apostles' Creed with our group, quite certain that I would receive baleful glances and bored yawns. We started by discussing why the Apostles' Creed is important and why we should learn it. We then delvelved into the first words of the Creed, "I believe." We discussed the question, "What does it mean to believe?" I was flabbergasted with the intensity and interest shown by the group for the Apostles' Creed. This was the most interactive and exciting group I had seen in quite some time. Needless to say, I was the one left with my mouth open, not with a yawn, but with astonishment. Who would have thought the Apostles' Creed would be so interesting?
