Good morning.
I, Mike, am so thankful for all the men and women who have invested in me over the years; those who helped mr meet Jesus and grow in my faith. I wonder where I would be without their love and influence?
Having recently completed a series "Plus 1", we were reminded to become that person to someone else. After all, as Christians, we each have a responsibility to spread the good news and then to invest in the lives of other believers by sharing our understanding and experience. To do this we need to:
• Spend time with the Lord so that we grow and keep in tune with His Spirit.
• Be prepared with a plan. New followers of Christ need to understand the basics of the Christian lifestyle as well as where to find fellowship and encouragement.
• Help others know what to expect as they embark on the Christian journey. It isn’t always a straight line, is it?
Most of us learned (and struggled) until we understood the basics of life in Christ. That’s why godly mentors are so important. We all need advice and encouragement from those farther along in their walk of faith.
Let us not forget the commission Jesus gave each of us. "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20)
Blessings.
Mike and Daphne
