What are you going to do better in 2017? Have you even given next year any thought?
E is for Equip Here’s the challenge: What do you need to learn to equip yourself for service? It’s time to get real about our service. God created us for good works, not to sit on the sidelines while others play the game. Matthew 5:16 (NIV says, “In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” Our pledge to God is not passive and our calling cannot be outsourced to others.
