Reflection Points

    • If you were to think of your prayers like “phone calls,” what percentage of them would be:

    1) 911 calls?
    2) “Can you do me a favor” calls?
    3) “Just calling to say hello and thank you” calls?

    • When you think about asking God to open a door for somebody else’s message, which of his messengers first comes to your mind? Choose a time to pray for that person this week.
    • Is there any “outsider” to the Christian faith to whom you need to apologize for the fact that you spoke to him or her in a less than gracious manner? If so, may the Lord grant you the strength to display Christ-like humility to that person this time around.
    • If you would say that you are not a Christian, what has been your experience with Christians and evangelism? How has that experience shaped your view of Jesus and/or Christianity?
