Just as every driver should know
how to fill up a gas tank, check the oil, change a tire, etc., he wrote on what
every follower of Christ should be able to do.
Since his list fits perfectly
with what we desire to train those of us here at First Free how to do, I wanted
to share it with you. Keep in mind these are not simply what we should do, think
about doing or want to do - but actually trained to be able to do before they become a
lost art.
(1) Read the Bible. Do you know how to
read the Bible? Where to start? How to interpret it? How to apply it?
(2) Pray. Not just in a crisis but
moving through Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication. This is a
need skill.
(3) Share your faith. Can you tell
your story of how you came to trust in Christ? Could you take someone through
the essentials of believing in Christ?
(4) Manage your resources. Manage your
time, talent, treasures, material assets, skills and spiritual gifts.
(5) Worship. Worship is more than
singing a song. It is bringing to God a prepared heart and mind, engaging in
prayer and God's word. How do you worship in spirit and truth?
Obviously, there is more than
these five things we should know how to do. But as James Emery White challenged
me...don't you think we all ought to know how to do at the very least these
five?
Blessings,
P.S. Our very
own, Gina Boe, will be leading our worship time this Sunday with Kids Corps!
It's going to be great and you won't want to miss it. I'll be wrapping up our
UNLEASHED series with a message entitled, "What to do when you haven't a clue!"
See you at our 9:00 or 10:30am service!
