This week's devotion is entitled:

Be a Good Soldier

You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
~2 Timothy 2:3

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.
