Last week, we had two tasks.
This week, we have one followup task to those two.
1) Chat with God and ask Him to help you see the areas of your life that are a contradiction. What personal characteristics and sins prevent you from being the witness you desire to be to your friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors who are not yet followers of Jesus? What personal characteristics and sins prevent you from fully engaging the suffering, pain and brokenness in our world that burdens you?
I shared a couple examples in my sermon on Sunday. Perhaps you have a coworker that you desire to know Jesus, but regularly demonstrate your short temper around him. Or maybe you are burdened by the struggles of the poor in our world, but also spend most of your discretionary income on luxeries such as the latest technology and the newest clothing styles.
