Grace for your spirit May 3, 2010

Grace for your spirit
The things which you have heard from me in the presence ofmany witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. II Timothy 2:2

The next generation of teachers and leaders in the church must be nurtured and trained. It is unlikely they will just read the word and fill the need. We must model it, and walk with them. There is a cell phone commercial I saw recently that illustrates the importance of our decisions. A young man sees a woman on a train. He flashes forwarded to their son being inaugurated as President, then back to his birth, their wedding, and back to the present. He quickly changes his ticket, and gets on the train with her. That decision to change his ticket and ride with her, changed everything in his life. The decision that we make today to ride along with the next generation can change everything in our life, their lives, and the future of the Lord's church. Let's not just throw a Bible at them. Let's change our ticket and ride.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
