#Thoughts precede #deeds.  It is possible to think about something and then fail to do anything, but only the most rote activity is not done without thought first.  Now that Paul has explained to the Philippians and us how to train our thoughts, he encourages us to follow his example.  Remember, we are in a series about joy and how to get it and live it.  It starts with right thinking but must be followed by right living, which is only possible after yielding control to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of our lives.  Who else besides Jesus can we find to be our role models?  Are we being mindful of the example we are setting?  What are the four ways we internalize examples?

Biblical Basis for Missions – The Means of Missions

Bible Audio Blog

Some of our #leaders and #rulers today do not want to be seen with common folk unless it is for a #photo-op.  Compare that with the #Creator of the Universe who sees us, hears us, and through His Son, Jesus Christ touches us.  Seeing, hearing, and touching are the means of missions still to this day.  Can we see, hear, and touch Christ?  How about others?  From what perspective should we see the world?  What would happen if we could see the world through eyes of faith, hope, and love?  As we attempt to listen, what is it we should hear?  Ironically, Brother Tommy mentions a prediction about the state of missions in the year 2000 (this was in 1987) that never came to pass mainly because of the proliferation of the internet, which is how you’re receiving this now.  But, the internet can’t replace physical contact with the unsaved.  Are you making contact with those that need a savior?

4 Practices to aid 

Do you appreciate the Word of God?  How many different roles does the Bible say it assumes?  The Word of God says that it is a mirror, water, nourishment, and a lamp among other things.  Are you a critic of the Bible or is it a critic of you?  There is only one weapon given to us against the enemy, can you use it?  Do you know hw to appropriate the Bible and its secrets?  In this day and age, appropriation is frowned upon, but not so with the Word of God.  Have you ever written in your Bible?  How about starting a journal? What are some good questions to ask about the passage you have chosen to read?  Pick a verse and memorize it.
