  • What is my role?

    What is my role in the body of Christ? What am I to do in my walk? I honestly do not know.

    Don't feel like your alone there.

    I'm always still in trouble again

        The best and most profound piece of advice I think I've gotten in the recent past is: Do the next right thing.

          Where did you get that? It's so clear you could give it to an optometrist.

            Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength... and love your neighbor as yourself. Everything else rests on those.

              I think our roles primarily develop naturally. This doesn't mean they automatically mature but rather that our roles emerge out of our personality and interests. It seems that such talents are what Paul calls gifts -- gifts that are to be shared with the rest of the body.

              Some people have a talent for organizing groups for good works. Others have an interest in seeking the best understanding of scriptures and teaching that to people. A number of people excel in evangelism.

              So, pay some attention toward helping other Christians as you find opportunity but also don't worry how your talents will mature. You may try some paths and find they don't fit. It is all part of life.

                    Obedience.

                    Do the things we are clearly told to do.
                    Don't do the things we are clearly told not to do.

                    Work on those, and the other areas will begin to take care of themselves.

                      Some older Christian guys that I know--in their 60's. I like it--it's a solid, very practical piece of advice.

                        Kinda reminds me of Commissioner Reagan on Blue Bloods --- "It's not what you've done - it's what you do next".
