Hello all!

The following is an article written by a good (and very bright) friend of mine.  It is packed with great insight.  Thanks for the counsel Jason!

Every now and again it is awesome when God reminds us of some of His simple truths.

I took a trip on Friday with my lead pastor and the man who discipled me, to share the ministry of discipleship with a church in the Kenton Ohio area.  As we were traveling to our appointment, we had many good discussions.  One of the topics mentioned was the concept of giving away the things God has given to us.

Typically in this tangible world, as we give our things away, it leaves less for us.  However, when it comes to the good news of Christ, it is not like this at all.  The Bible tells us that God specifically gives us insight into His word and comforts us in our times of need so that we will share these things with others.  (2 Timothy 2:2, 2 Corinthians 1:1-4)  Are we sharing what we have been given?  Or are we like the selfish two year old; who, though he has no intention of playing with a certain toy, still refuses to share it with others?

As we give His love and truth away, it will spread just as He intended it to from the beginning.  Let’s give it away!

I have an interesting exercise for all of you that use facebook.  Go to your profile and look at your last twenty profile status updates.  After doing this, categorize them as positive or negative.

Do you like what you see?  What do these statements reveal about you?

After you’re done, comment here on what you discovered.
