"A Few Good Men" 2/18/01 Past/Future Articles |
|
Yes, the Marines need a few good men to carry out their work. A few good dedicated men to their duty can accomplish much.
The Lord needs a few good men to carry out His will. Here are some of the qualities they should possess: The man who puts God's business above any other business (Matthew 6:33). The man who will "study to show thyself approved unto God" (II Timothy 2:15). The man who brings his wife and children to worship rather than sending them (Hebrews 10:25). The man who will go into all the world and preach the gospel. One who will teach, train and tell others about Christ. The man who thinks more of Sunday school, than of Sunday sleep (I Peter 2:2). The man who gives what he should to the Lord and lives on what is left (II Corinthians 9:6-7). The man who has passion to help others rather than to be helped himself (Philippians 2:4). The man who goes to worship for Christ's sake rather than for himself or someone else (John 4:24). The man who has a willing mind, rather than a brilliant one (II Corinthians 8:12). The man who is willing to be the right example to everyone he meets (I Corinthians 11:1).
These are only a few of the qualities that should have to be pleasing to our Lord. We should work on these and others, so we can be more like Christ. We need to talk to our friends and neighbors about the plan of salvation.
