Do it Yourself Plan

We all know that if you want to get better at something you practice, surround yourself with people that support you, find someone to teach you, and sharpen your skills daily. We see it with people who are successful in sports, with their work, with school, and with life. We understand that practice makes perfect or at least real close. We all believe in theory, because we have seen it work time and time again. The problem is we don’t often bring that same thinking into our Christian walk.
How do you feel you will become the best follower of Christ? Will you face all the struggles, temptations, and fears all on your own? Or will you put into practice the act of sharpening your skills, surrounding yourself by people who love you and support you, attend class so that someone can help teach you, attend worship to be encouraged and to encourage others? What is your plan to follow Christ? Will you try the “do it yourself plan”? God never intended us to be “do it yourself” people. He tells over and over to surround ourselves with other Christian people in order to overcome the sin in the world.
Proverbs 27:17
17 As iron sharpens iron,
so one man sharpens another.
If you haven’t been to church in a while know that your church family is missing you. They are waiting with open arms for your return. If you are waiting for the right time, the right Sunday to come back, make it this Sunday.
Hope to see you there.
Love,
Joe
