OCTOBER 14 – PRACTICING TEACHES


And the Lord, God says, “These people have learned the right words to say, but their hearts; their wills, are far from me. What they call worship is just repeating words men have given them to say. They are mere lip service. (Isaiah 29:13)

                   Do you create training opportunities that move the values you teach into the real world? Do you mentor others in a way that coaches your people to consider how the values can and should inform their decisions and actions? Do you celebrate when you see good values-based work, emphasizing the importance of those values to the long-term success of individuals and the whole community?

                   When Jesus commissioned twelve of His followers to work in various communities during His time here (Luke 9:1-6), He showed His expectation for followers. Worship is doing what God desires rather than, as Isaiah says, simply repeating God’s words. Words inform. Practicing teaches. Talking about Christ is helpful. Putting on Christ by doing the work He gives you will teach you, and others, about His love in ways that will lead them to Him. This practice will also bring you closer to the reality of living fully in relationship with Jesus.

                   Lead your people to practice the values in every possible application. Immerse them in the work.
