View from the Porch
Brothers and sisters, God wants us to be the best that we can be. The best Christian; the best servant; the best spouse; the best parent; the best brother or sister; the best employee; the best neighbor; the best church member, etc. You get the picture. How do we become the best at who we are and what we do? Seems to me, training and practice. Athletes, emergency service personnel, military personnel, landscapers, secretaries, teachers, carpenters, nurses, etc. need practice and training to become the best. Again, you get the picture. Don’t we need practice and training to become God’s best? My answer is, yes. So how do we find the practice and training we need? We find it in reading scripture daily; praying daily; daily devotionals; listening to the Holy Spirit; attending Bible studies and being part of other small groups; attend Christian conferences; worshiping on a regular basis; being an active church member; fellowship; reading Christian books; doing God’s Will; using our spiritual gifts, etc. I’m certain you can come up with your own list. Because we are sinners, the key is, the bottom line is that we DO need to practice and train.
