When I was a freshman in Queens College, I became very concerned about matters of fellowship and decided the best way to get the Lord’s mind about where to break bread was to study thoroughly the history of the “brethren” movement. Accordingly, I wrote my freshman term paper for English on that very subject. To prepare myself, I read every book and pamphlet I could lay my hands on all expressing a wide diversity of viewpoints. The result was that I ended up more in the dark than when I started!
Then one morning, when reading in Luke 22, I noted that Peter and John asked the Lord, “Where wilt Thou that we prepare?” I was intrigued that the Lord gave them very specific directions. Suddenly it dawned on me that I had NEVER ASKED HIM! So I did, and I believe He showed me just as clearly as Peter and John were shown where He is in the midst.
