English Studio: Patience (忍耐) Rěnnài

Hey there!

Here's a preview of this Friday's session:

Patience (忍耐) Rěnnài

Accommodating other people’s needs, not being easily upset.

When everything is going our way, patience is easy to demonstrate. The true test of patience comes when our rights are violated— when another car cuts us off in traffic; when we are treated unfairly; when our group members do not do their part.

Proverbs 15:18 – "A hot-tempered man stirs up dissension, but a patient man calms a quarrel."

The word translated “patience” in this verse means “endurance.” A Christian runs the race patiently by persevering through difficulties. In the Bible, patience is persevering towards a goal, enduring trials, or expectantly waiting for a promise to be fulfilled.




Hope to see you,

13 August (Friday), 6 - 7.30pm
Rotunda 6 (Monash Uni Clayton, Building 8 – between Menzies and Matheson library)

You may be tired out from the assignments you've had to do the past two weeks, but come and be refreshed among friends! Don't worry about transport back home – we'll provide if it's necessary.

:) Faith
