Wednesday Night Lesson

Church last night was amazing! At youth group Aaron was talking about a co-worker who had recently given up Christianity. We called this man Bob.lol. Anyway Bob had a very good point....he said that the worst thing Christians have working against them is themselves. Bob was wondering that if God is so powerful and almighty why don't we see more effects of Him through His people.... Of course this man wasn't a born again believer and he is one of those of which he is accusing....but the point that Aaron was driving home was that true, born again Christians should always watch their testimony. People watch Christians more than we think. If the world doesn't see a change in us....then why would they even want to be saved? If we are proffessing Christ we should act like it. Believers should not be conformed of this world. I think that true Christians should examine themselves and see if they are really living a life for Christ.... afterall Christ is all that matters....
That was the story at the beginning of the lesson.... The lesson itself was on spiritual gifts. We were studying I Corinthians 12, the first seven verses. Aaron was dicussing what spiritual gifts are for.... They are for the unity of the body of Christ. They all work together for the common good. This shouldn't be a newsflash but if it is, ok, IT IS ALL FOR GOD! God is the only thing that matters and if we use what He has given to us( for everything is given to us by God) and follow Him..... He will be glorified! That message really touched my heart to always be living for Christ and to let Him use me in a way that my life may be used to glorify Him.
