HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?

Yesterday morning we discussed the responsibility we share as believers in our local fellowship to Teach Truth, Expose Lies, and Warn Believers about Satan's deceptions.  

Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. Colossians 1:28 (ESV) 

In a practical sense, how do these things take place most naturally in a local church?

I look forward to interacting with you!

Great interaction last week on this blog!  That was fun!  I apologize that I am late in getting on here this week, but I had a funeral and a day spent with the youth group early this week, thus I am behind...

I want to think about Colossians 1:24 one more time, if that is ok...

Here is a question for you:

When it comes to recognizing that my sufferings can and will definitely be used by God to embody the truth and the experience of Christ's sufferings to the world of people today who have not seen or understood the sufferings of our Savior...

Should I seek opportunities to suffer for Christ?  ...or how will I know if that is what I am doing, and whether I am suffering in a manner that honors the Lord?

Can't wait to hear your comments!
