Are you being a good example?

As a christian we know it is our job to share our faith, to share the love of Christ and his Good News. Are you sharing? What about just living your life as a good example? People will always watch and see your actions so are your actions and words something Jesus would say or do? Paul writes and tell's people to look and watch him and be like him...brave man! Have I been thinking about what other believers or non believers would see through my actions and words?

Phillipains 3:17 Dear brothers and sisters, pattern your lives after mine, and learn from those who follow our example.

Paul was willing to be an example and was up for the challenge to do so. I love his heart and his attitude because in my thinking I think "wow it is such a hard task." Then I sit and think about how easy it is at the same time. Loving more is obviously one thing we all can continue to work on. I know when I start to love people more I am always following in Christ's examples. The other thing is always staying in His word and continuing to learn more about Jesus.

I know I have a big influence on our youth group and I want to always be a blessing in their lives, be real, but always show them how to be more like Christ.

So if you had a new believer live their life following in your footsteps what kind of life would you lead them too? Would they see Christ come through or would they see the world? (No worries, non of us are perfect and we get grace but think about it.)

Thought provoking blog and question. As I ponder I pray that I am that example to others that would lead them to the very one that first loved them Our Father in heaven. That they would want to know Him as their Lord and Savior as I do. I think I always have room for much improvement though. But ... I am a charcter in progress.

Wow...when you think about Paul, you realize how genuine his heart was in living with the believers. But Paul was never afraid of speaking the truth and also being confrontational for the sake of God's truth. It's hard to have that kind of wisdom.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
