Want to change to the World than Know God's WORD

Photo: <3 Share this message <3

All week my heart has been heavy.  I have been so burdened for the lost people of our world.  There are still so many people groups in the world who have not even heard the name of Jesus.  But, this is not the only lost souls of the world.  Here in our country so many do not know or understand the Truth.  There are churches full of people Sunday after Sunday, weekend after weekend, that are NOT free in Christ.  They have not heard the Truth, or they have not understood it.  How can this be?  How can we be living our lives side by side with our neighbors and not impacting them?  What is our role?  How can I make a difference?

As I prayed and searched my Bible, and visited with others on this issue of sharing the gospel and making disciples I realized there is only one answer.  It is the WORD of God.  I can tell lots of people my personal stories and experiences, but it is His Story that will change their lives.  It is His Word of Truth that has the power to save.  So I kept coming back to this same truth, the answer to how I can impact my world, is the same answer to the question how do I prepare my children for this world.  That answer is this.  If I want to change the World, I have to know God's Word.

There is a Nike commercial that goes something like this.  Eat Soccer, Drink Soccer, Sleep Soccer, Play Soccer, Live Soccer, JUST DO IT.  I want that to be my motto, just change soccer to the Bible, God's Word, the good book, whatever name you call it.

Eat God's Word, Sleep God's Word, Drink God's Word, Pray God's Word, Live God's Word.  JUST DO IT!

or maybe something more like this:



 
 
Read the WORD.
 
 
 
Study the WORD.
 
 
 
Memorize the WORD.
 
 

 
 
Listen to the WORD.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Share the WORD.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Teach the WORD.
 
 
 
I want to stop making excuses for bad behavior (that is a phrase we use in our house all the time).  I want there to be no reason why I can't live my life to the full, so I am going to make it my number one priority to JUST DO IT!!!
 
How about you?

I could use prayer in this area. I know I need to not just study the Bible, but know it better than I do now. Good post.
