Is Always Learning
“Teach me knowledge and good judgment, for I believe in your commands.”
-Psalm 119:66
If we want to be a church that heaven applauds then our attitude should be that we can always learn. We should always be looking for new sources of wisdom and more effective ways to do ministry in the name of Jesus Christ. Why should we do that? Because the good news of Jesus’ love and grace deserves the best we can give it.
Churches that are always learning and trying to find new ways to be more effective for the cause of Jesus Christ are churches that remain alive and energetic. Churches that are always learning will be growing by effectively offering the good news of Jesus Christ to more and more people.
The Church of Jesus Christ is the bearer of the greatest treasure that the world has ever known. The treasure that the Church of Jesus Christ possesses is the salvation that comes through the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We cannot be content to be satisfied that we have received this treasure. We must be driven to learn and find ways that make the treasure alive and real to other people so that more people can come to know the life-saving presence of Jesus in their lives. That’s why the church must always be learning and seeking new wisdom. We must always be learning how we can be more effective in sharing Jesus with others. That will please God and that will be the kind of church that heaven applauds.
