This week's devotion is entitled:
You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
At my church this past Wednesday night we had our missionary to Mexico, Brad Nelson, come preach to us. He delivered an awesome message on being a soldier of Christ. He talked about what it meant to give up everything you know and love to take up your cross and follow Jesus. He gave a really powerful message about repenting of walking in the world and being a good soldier for Christ. It really convicted me of how much I was focusing on getting people to see me in me and not Christ in me. It really made me realize how off-track I had gotten in my Christianity. This week, I want everyone to think about how they are involved in the world, and what they are trying to get people to see in them.
~2 Timothy 2:3
