Wisdom Means Sitting Under Gifted Teachers and Wise Counselors
God Commands Us to Sit Under Wise Teachers and for Some To Be Teachers
Now
part of the church experience includes sitting under wise teachers, or
having the gift of teaching. It seems that God didn’t think his Bible
was all we would need to work out our Christian lives. Priests, judges,
prophets, teachers, preachers, elders, apostles are just some of the
job titles of teachers that God appoints to help us to greater
understanding of His Word.
But,
if you’re anything like me, I hated school, even though I loved
learning. Maybe you aren’t like me and you loved school, but learning
wasn’t high on your list of fun things to do. Either way, God has made
it abundantly clear that we need teachers.
This is part of the 5th chapter in a book that has been created here on this blog. The book will be available on Amazon.com April 26 under the title God Called - He Needs Your Decision! This will be the Kindle edition. The print edition will follow approximately May 15, and the audio is slated for availability around June 1.

The rest of this chapter was available free for almost a year, but has now been removed. It is my hope that you will truly enjoy the book and that it will bless you. Some have already reported their thoughts about the book. Early readers report below.
You’ve made the decision to trust God, follow
Jesus, and be indwelt by the Holy Spirit.
But
those are only the first decisions that God allows his followers to make. The Christian experience is a process of
making one decision after another. We
make choices about:
•
loving
God and others
•
participating
in Christian disciplines
•
seeking
God’s direction in our daily lives
•
being
on fire or lukewarm
•
desiring
to hear God’s specific calling on our life
•
opening
our heart to actually hear from God
•
surrendering
Where
are you in the decision process? Do you need a jump start? Here’s what others
said:
“I
started attending church again after reading God Called JS
“I
read the first few chapters of God Called but couldn’t go on. Too convicting” TB
“After
reading half of God Called, I started making big changes.” CC
Even
as a Pastor sometimes we can lose focus on what it really is to be a
true
disciple of Christ.
I
would recommend it to any Pastor or leader of a church
Great
Stuff!

About Me

It has been difficult in years past for me to share openly and deeply with others about issues in my Christian life. I used to worry about judgment and rejection based on my actions or non-actions. I lived for years in isolation from other believers, feeling "safer" dealing with life on my own (aside from sharing with my spouse).
But it became almost unbearable to do life alone. My spouse and I both needed support that can only come from friends on the same spiritual journey. We joined a small group at church almost 6 years ago, and we have never looked back. Sharing and doing life together, with other imperfect people who are desiring to follow Jesus in the best way we know how in spite of our sinful hearts, has been the most wonderful experience. We were meant for relationship, to encourage and be encouraged to carry and be carried, to confront and be confronted.
My only regret is that we didn't seek out such friendships sooner. We can't imagine doing life without this intimate, spiritual support.
