Paul told Timothy that "The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also." (2 tim 2:2) He also told Titus to have the older people teach the younger people on how to live and behave, (titus 2). How serious do we take that teaching? Was it just for those guys? I hope that you would agree that's for everyone.
We live in a culture that is growing more desperate for instruction and guidance but so few people will speak up to offer godly advice in a kind way. James reminds us that "if anyone among you wanders away from the truth and is brought back again, you can be sure that the one who brings that person back will save that sinner from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins." (James 5:19-20)
We have such a tremendous opportunity to let our light shine and help be the guidance so many people are looking for but afraid to ask. In doing that we may find that we are helped as well.
Do what you can do to ensure that we don't resemble what Paul was so frustrated by in the Galatians. He said in Galatians 1:6
, "I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel..." Don't desert God's instructions for Satan's, you will regret it.
