You have a choice to make. You will either be a world-class Christian or a worldly Christian. Worldly Christians look to God primarily for personal fulfillment. They are saved, but self-centered. Its a me-first faith: How can God make my life more comfortable? They want to use God for their purposes instead of being used for His purposes. In contrast, world-class Christians know they were saved to serve & made for a mission. They are eager to receive a personal assignment & excited about the privilege of being used by God. World-class Christians are the only fully alive people on the planet. Their joy, confidence, & enthusiasm are contagious because they know theyre making a difference. WHAT TYPE OF CHRISTIAN DO YOU WANT TO BE? Shift from self centered thinking to other-centered thinking. In1Cor.14:20 Paul says, My friends, stop thinking like children. Think like mature people. This is the first step to becoming a world-class Christian. Children only think of themselves; grownups think of others. The only way we can make this switch is by a moment-by-moment dependence on God. Fortunately He doesnt leave us to struggle on our own. Your goal is to figure out where others are in their spiritual journey & then do whatever will bring them a step closer to knowing Christ. The apostle Paul writes in 1Cor.10:33 says, I dont think about what would be good for me but about what would be good for many people so that they might be saved............Lennox.......
