Training (Value 5)

  Training produces competence, competence produces confidence, and confidence produces success.

Ken Houts, from YOU ARE A MIRACLE WAITING TO HAPPEN

  Professional baseball players show up early on game day for batting practice. Now, wouldn’t you think that after years of training in little league, high school, college, minor league teams, and for however long they have been in the Major League, that this would be enough?

  They know how to hit a ball with a bat. But what makes them successful as a professional is realizing they have to do more. They go over the basics of the game every day and practice, practice, practice.

  As Christians we need to realize that, if we are to do our best for the Lord, then our witness and our work is important enough to learn how to do it better. Training is a value because it helps us grow in our serving.

  On Wednesdays we are in training from 6:10 until 6:55 P.M. each week. Join us for our “Harvest Study.” For several weeks we have been studying the book, “YOU ARE A MIRACLE WAITING TO HAPPEN,” by Ken Houts. This week will be the last session of this study but next week Kathy Hershman will begin teaching on “RELEASING THE SPIRITUAL GIFTS.”

  This new study will help us to find out what our gifts are and how we may work out of these gifts. True fulfillment in our spiritual work requires that we let God work in and through us as He has gifted us for the job to which He has called us.

  Every Christian is a minister. What is your ministry? Do you know? Do you feel qualified to do your work?

  We don’t have any batting cages but practice begins each Wednesday at 6:10 P.M. I hope to see you there.
