Summary

A good friend of mine at the College put it like this: “Remember who you are and what you stand for.” Guys, listen: we aren’t Jesus followers just for ourselves. We do life his way because our kids are watching, and our grandkids, and our neighbors, and our classmates, and our colleagues … and our enemies, even. And who we are and how we live will be a far more powerful testimony for or against Jesus than anything we say. Do you get that? The other two parts just unpack it, a bit. I will support the testimony of my church … by attending faithfully … because, guys, it is who we are and what we do! The book of Hebrews put it like this: “Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And (here it is) let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.” (Hb 10.24-25).
