Is it just us or does everyone battle with guarding family devotion time? Since Simon and Clinton live with us on weekends we started a Bible study together. Both of these boys are leadership material and we are discipling them so they will be equipped to disciple others. We realize there's nothing new here - it's what Jesus exampled to us. We have a book that we are working through and we're currently on lesson #4. Sometimes we get busy playing games and forget about devos. Sometimes we're watching a movie and forget. But, we are committed to making this a priority!
Well, on Sunday morning at church we met a young man (Brad)who is a new Christian and hasn't been discipled yet. We invited him to join us for our family devo time that afternoon. Surprise! He came. We were working on the end of lesson #3 when he arrived and just continued. But... after we were done, Tony and I went on to other things and our boys (Simon and Clinton) took Brad aside and worked through the first 3 lessons with him! Isn't it great when you can see fruit of your labor? Of course - YES!
Brad is invited to join us every week. Clinton and Simon are growing in their personal journey of faith and also in their leadership skills. We are motivated more than ever to continue this work of discipleship. God is so good!
