Title: Godly examples Post by: kathleen5 on June 25, 2003, 05:24:42 PM I've been reading in Philippians, and twice Paul states to the church that they should act as he acts.3:17Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern." And chp4:9 "The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do and the God of peace will be with you." First I was convicted for myself, there are diffently times I would not wish my children to act as I do. Second, I started to think-- I wonder how many church leaders today would be bold enough to make such a statement. And also if we had leaders that could how different would the church be? Just a thought.

Quote Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:1 Paul's only worthy example to follow was the example he followed. Christ! It makes us consider much more of our daily actions than normal. Thanks for the thought! |
