Why are you leading?
Saturday, May 20, 2006

Last year in “love joy peace” we shared the gospel to our students. This year in covering the book of Mark, we challenged our students to have a passion for God, since they said that they believe.

Our studies on being a “Woman of God” and “Men of God” are not about how to be a man or woman. Studying it from this perspective is just a means to an end. They are about how we can and should have a passion for Christ. Focus on this as your prepare your lessons. It’s not about how you can only relate to an issue as a man or a woman.

What are we doing when we go to ACJC every week? Is it just to go there and get it through? To sit down and keep quiet and let others lead? Are you leading because it’s your turn and you have to?

The real question I ask myself is: What am I doing here?

Why lead Sec2s? I’m teaching to change lives.




… so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. - Ephesians 4:12b-13

And that’s what we’re doing. We have some responsibility over how our students eventually turn out, and it’s about turning that ‘just believe’ into a passion for God.

I know it’s hard sometimes, wanting them to have a passion for God when we struggle to have a passion for God ourselves. I know I struggle too. We have a purpose to fulfill, so let’s not crash and burn.
