Over the last three years, Kevin DeYoung has become on of my favorite contemporary authors. He pastors University Reformed Church in Lansing, Michigan, and blogs over at "DeYoung, Restless, and Reformed." GBC's college study and Wednesday night classes have utilized his book Just Do Something, and the college study plans to tackle his and Ted Kluck's book Why We're Not Emergent (By Two Guys Who Should Be) after we finish our current study. This excerpt is from his meditations on the Heidelberg Catechism.
"The simple act of getting on our knees (or faces or feet or whatever) for five or fifty minutes every day is the surest sign of our humility and dependence on God. There may be many reasons for our prayerlessness-time management, busyness, lack of concentration-but most fundamentally, we ask not because we think we need not.

I'll bet you didn't know that there was such a thing as "hulility"!
