Purpose Driven Life chapter 38

Chapter 38: Becoming a World-Class Christian

Something to remember: The Great Commission is YOUR commission.

Verse to remember: "Only those who throw away their lives for my sake and for the sake of the Good News will ever know what it means to really live" Mark 8:35

Something that was impactful: Do you wnat to be a WORLD CLASS Christian or a WORLDLY Christian? Its your choice. I personally want to be a WORLD CLASS Christian. I used to TOTALLY be a WORLDLY Christian. TOTALLY was. I was ALL about my needs and nobody elses. I went to missions fest and just sang, didnt actually LISTEN to the message. I went to all these confrences and didnt really truly listen to the message.

If you want to be a world class Christian you need to shift from a self-centered thinking to othere-centered thinking. I dont liek what is written that children only think of themselves, because not ALL of them do. but ya... i duno i just dont like that.

Shift from local thinking to global thinking. Care about what God cares about. Think about the world! The way to do this is to pray for different countries.

Shift from "here and now" thinking to eternal thinking. Fix your eyes on what is unseen! Because that is eternal!

Shift from thinking of excuses to thinking of creative ways to fulfill my commission. Dont say that you dont have anything to offer because i have said it before. EVERYONE has something to offer. We are all called to worship, fellowship, to grow like Christ, to serve and to be on a mission with God in the world. We need to stop making excuses as to why we CANT do it and think of reasons TO do it! and that reason is because God CALLS us to. As I write the blogs for this last purpose on every single one God is telling me to tell you to SAVE ONE MORE FOR JESUS!! Start at home and go GLOBAL!!

Blessings to you all as you are on your mission...
