incomplete

CONTINUE
Am I an unfinished product?
If example is the pattern for the product, how close to completion am I ?

"he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold." - Job 23:10

Some would argue that if you are not a perfect example you then you are a hypocrite and should "shut up" about the things of God.

This kind of thinking has kept many struggling Christians "sitting on the sidelines".

THIS I DONT WANT TO BE A HYPOCRITE line is an old trick of the devil that has worked very well to SILENCE the believer.

I may not be a perfect example of the "finished product" but I am example of a "work in progress"
ALWAYS IMPROVING.

Yesterday after NINE MONTHS I completed my thirteen week discipleship training.

Am I any better off now than I was last September? God has all kinds of ways of getting through to us. I said to my patient mentor brother Bill.

"NINE MONTHS ? hhhhmmmm
That's the typical length of a
PREGNANCY !!!

So completing this course is only the beginning of something new that God is working on that will "grow up" to full maturity.

Thank you Brother Bill for "bringing this to term". Thank you brother Steve for keeping this program going. Thank you brother Ken for being my "trial balloon". Thank you Pastor Cary for being faithful to the task of "making disciples". Thank you Brother Chappell for being the example of 'staying the course'.
My prayer and hope: TO CONTINUE.
