At each service on Sunday I concluded the message by asking how many would raise their hands to acknowledge that they knew exactly what the next step is that God is calling them to do. It was amazing to see how many hands raised -- 5 or 10 in each of the first two services; then like 15 or 20 in the third service. So what is your next step? Here are some of the possibilities I listed. What is God saying to you?
- I believe that God is real and that I can have a personal relationship with Him.
- I acknowledge that I am a sinner and have trusted in Christ alone for my salvation.
- I have been baptized after receiving Christ as a public profession of my faith in Christ and my desire to follow Jesus.
- I intentionally and regularly reflect on God's character and His priorities in my life.
- I actively participate in services -- praising God, learning about God through His Word, and generously giving to God of my finances.
- I am actively learning to seek God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength.
- I can point to a major decision where I did what God said even when I didn't feel like it.
- I am pursuing God through spiritual disciplines like prayer, fasting, and service.
- I train others in the attitudes and disciplines that lead to a fully surrendered life to God.
