Friday, March 13 Read Hebrews 5:11-14 This week many of us will gather and again hear the Word preached. We will go to our Sunday school classes and hear the Word taught. We may come back on Sunday night and hear the Word preached again. At Nashville First Church of the Nazarene, many of us are living with a high-powered halogen light under a bushel. Perhaps we hide our lights because it seems that there are more powered lights all around us, but the truth is, at many churches across the nation, you could probably be teaching a Sunday School class. Our problem is not a lack of knowledge. Our problem is that we fail to live in the light we have and reflect the light that has shone upon us through Christ. There is only so much that can be taught in a lecture style format. In order for many of us to move ahead in the light, we need to do the hard work of “chewing on some meat” outside the church walls. We need to implement what we know so that we can understand the next step in the process.
