Chapter 6 of Kent Evans’ book The Manhood Journey is about serving others. Kent talks about three reasons we serve: Duty, Devotion, and Delight. While serving out of duty and devotion is good, we should strive to serve out of delight. We should take joy in using our gifts to serve others as God’s Word commands.
Scripture references: Matthew 20:28/Mark 10:45, 1 Peter 4:10, Galatians 5:13-14, John 13:14, Philippians 2:3-4
Check on a brother. You never know when they’re in need.
The COT was centered around a passage from the Q Source.
“The order of the Get Right (1-Fitness, 2-Fellowship and 3-Faith) is prescriptive, not random. Although it might seem philosophically that Faith should come first and that Fellowship should precede Fitness, that just does not turn out to be true as a practical matter.”
You have to get right before you can do the other things.
Matthew 16:24 supports the above statement.
“24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.”
Before we can “follow” Jesus, we are called to deny ourselves aka Get Right, then take up the cross, then follow him.
How are you going to Get Right?
