We can learn from the gospel how to change the world and the ways we can do that. The most important way in which we can do that is with our words.
Key Points:
- We can change the world with our words. This goes by different names: “parenting,” “discipling,” or “mentoring.”
- The Bible calls it “speaking the truth in love.”
- Most Christians don’t feel qualified or equipped to do this.
- The greatest thing you can do is help someone else pursue God.
Quote This:
Acts 1:7-8 He replied, “The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
