A Servant of
the Living God - Litany
I am a servant of God. My decision has been made. My dye
cast. I've stepped over the line. I am unashamed to be his
slave. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, be quiet or
stay still.
I am a Servant of the Living God. My past is redeemed, my present
makes sense, and my future is secure. I have the power of the Holy
Spirit. I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, smooth
knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, idle talking, stingy giving, and
small goals.
I am a Servant of the Living God. I no longer need preeminence, prosperity,
position, promotions, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first,
recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. He is enough for me.
I am a Servant of the Living God. My face is set, my gait is fast, my
goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my
guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured,
lured away, turned back, diluted, or delayed. I will not flinch in the
face of sacrifice, hesitate in the midst of adversity, negotiate at the
table of sin, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of
mediocrity.
I am a Servant of the Living God. I won't give up, shut up, let up, or
slow up until I have preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up, and stayed
up for the cause of Christ.
I am a Servant of the Living God. I must go till He comes, serve until
I drop, preach till all know, and work till the word is finished.
And when He comes to call home His own, He'll have no problem recognizing
me. For I am a Servant and I look like Him.
I AM A SERVANT OF GOD
The
Four Goals of Sabbath School
- FAITH - I will grow in personal Christian experience through personal
and group Bible study.
- FELLOWSHIP - I will extend and accept Christian hospitality.
- COMMUNITY OUTREACH - I will work for the human needs of the community.
- WORLD MISSION - I will financially support missions.
The Claim Approach
This approach to Bible study provides a balanced understanding of
the lesson for all four learning styles and helps satisfy personal learning
needs and desires:
Connect: Why should I study this lesson title - what personal benefit will it produce
Learn: What are the Bible facts about this lesson title.
Apply: How do the principles of this lesson study title relate to current trends and events?
Integrate: How will I share the information about this lesson title with others next week and apart from that use it to increase my personal spiritual growth?
Master: By answering these questions, I master the skill of telling my "story" and giving an answer for the hope that is within me (I Peter 3:15) as I claim responsibility for my own learning.
SABBATH SCHOOL LESSONS [links]
THIS QUARTER - In 2007 a popular science magazine (Wired) had a cover article titled “What We Don’t Know About . . .” The article then ran short pieces on such unanswered mysteries as “Why Do We Sleep?” “Is Time an Illusion?” “What’s at the Earth’s Core?” “What is the Universe Made of?” and “Why Can’t We Predict the Weather?”
Even after hundreds of years of scientific advancement, on such basics, we’re still in the dark!
Fortunately, on the most basic of all questions (and by far more important than “What’s at the earth’s core?”)— questions such as “How did we get here?” “Why are we here?” and “Where are we going?”—we haven’t been left to grope in darkness. Instead, God has revealed to us, in the Bible, the answers to these fundamental concerns. And among those revelations given to us in Scripture, we have the writings of John the evangelist.
This quarter, instead of studying John’s Gospel (his own inspired eyewitness account of Jesus) or the book of Revelation (which he also wrote), we’re going to study his three letters. Though addressed to certain churches and individuals in his time, they deal with issues relevant to us today, issues such as false doctrine, sin, love, apostasy and obedience. But most important of all, they deal with Jesus Christ, the One through whom we were created (“How did we get here?”), the One who gives our existence meaning and purpose (“Why are we here?”) and the One who promises to come again and raise us to eternal life (“Where are we going?”). In short, in Jesus we find the answers to the most important questions.
That’s why the three epistles of John speak to issues relevant for the church today. We would do well to listen to them, because we believe that ultimately it is God who is
speaking to us through John’s words, the God who—though not revealing to us answers to such questions as “What’s at the earth’s core?”—has revealed to us truths about a greater and firmer foundation upon which we can rest: our Creator and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
