Who will you choose to spend your time with?

December 14, 2010

I spent time today with a Pastor who holds both the role of friend and influencer in my life. The time we were able to spend together finishing up our Christmas shopping, proved to he fruitful. Our conversation flowed naturally, as does the relationship itself.

The prior will give ground to what I am about to say.

Discipleship and teaching in itself have to be done in conjunction with life. The principles taught in a classroom are only tested when implemented in one’s environment. Life and circumstance are the proving ground for all things internal. Disciple life with life, and teach with experience.

Regardless of age or title, keep people in your circle who will keep you accountable and not forsake honesty for convenience of relationship. We are doing ourselves a disservice when we live a closed life void of constructive critique.

Who will you choose to spend your time with?
