Be careful of lack of preparation
Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
1 Tim 3:6
Today we have forgotten the importance of this hidden work of God. As a result (and remember this), we immediately thrust people into notoriety, bestowing on them unbelievable power, and then we wonder why they are corrupted. Unless we are ready for it, power will destroy us. This is no small matter in the Church today. Because of our wholesale ignorance of the importance of hidden preparation, we have thrust untold numbers of workers into the limelight before they were ready.
Swindoll, C. R. (2009). Paul: a man of grace and grit. Nashville: Thomas Nelson.
Faking it til you make does not work. In this life we can not just carry along not growing and pretending that we are gaining ground in life.We can not boast in just lucking out in the end. we need to be prepared and we need to come to an understanding that to better spread the Gospel, to disciple, to do anything and everything in this world. We need time to prepare and to build. It is in that preparation we will become the type a people who can serve God to the fullest.
