Tomorrow I am a guest speaker at a class at Oral Roberts University. I will be talking about why Christian Educators need to teach people how to study the Bible.
This morning at breakfast a friend asked me if I was ready. I told him, not yet. Then in about 2 minutes outlined what I was going to say to the group. We laughed. I have shared this idea more times than I can count. With individuals in the same restaurant in which my friend and I were sitting, in conferences 30 years ago, two weeks ago overseas, and in multiple workshops in the past five years. I really cannot count the number of times.
So preparing to share my core message does not take a lot of time. Nor does it take my friend long to share his. Both of us can do it on a napkin or in the dirt. It is what drives us.
Each believer has been designed for a message like that. Ephesians 2:10 states it. Psalm 139:13 – 16 describes the process. One of our quests as believers is to find that message and live it out.
Problem is we have to be paying attention to find it.
