Do you ever speak to a young Christian and say:

0:00:24.940,0:00:28.767
"Do you want to know what Christianity is like?

0:00:30.570,0:00:32.835
Watch me."

0:00:33.420,0:00:35.744
Do you ever say that?

0:00:44.515,0:00:46.933
After all, the apostle Paul can say:

0:00:46.933,0:00:52.127
"Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ."

0:00:56.820,0:00:58.580
For all of us do follow people

0:00:58.580,0:01:00.620
whether we like it or not

0:01:00.620,0:01:03.924
consciously or unconsciously we do

0:01:13.340,0:01:14.733
There are all kinds of things that are learned

0:01:14.733,0:01:18.533
as much by example as by word.

0:01:24.149,0:01:28.460
Isn't that why we pray and work to train up Christian parents?

0:01:28.460,0:01:30.345
It's not just what the parents say, its what they do:

0:01:30.345,0:01:32.266
"Watch me!"

0:01:36.020,0:01:38.780
So if you're looking around for a good senior mentor,

0:01:38.780,0:01:40.740
then always ask some fundamental questions.

0:01:40.740,0:01:43.540
Don't just simply say: oh that person seems to be making a great go at it.

0:01:43.540,0:01:49.940
Wonderful succes, just love that personnality, would like to be like that!

0:01:49.940,0:01:53.140
Instead ask some fundamental questions.

0:01:53.140,0:01:56.660
"You know all about my teaching"

0:01:56.660,0:02:00.900
Does he follow apostolic teaching?

0:02:04.900,0:02:08.300
How about way of life?

0:02:08.300,0:02:14.161
Purpose? Faith? Patience? Love? Endurance? Sufferings!?

0:02:21.900,0:02:27.780
Choose your mentors and then hold the right mentors in high regard.

0:02:27.780,0:02:30.460
So in a world where there are so many false ideas or deceptive ideas

0:02:30.460,0:02:35.260
or selfish ideas, or anti-God ideas

0:02:35.260,0:02:39.988
what do you do to get orientated towards God himself?

0:02:42.295,0:02:45.180
Well you go to his word.

0:02:45.180,0:02:48.306
You hold on to the Bible.

0:02:50.798,0:02:52.820
You're not what you think you are.

0:02:52.820,0:02:56.650
But what you think… you are.

0:02:58.820,0:03:04.020
So you need to think God's thoughts after him. Isn't that what Paul says?

0:03:04.020,0:03:11.260
"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your… mind."

0:03:14.260,0:03:18.420
That means that you must hold on to the Bible.

0:03:18.420,0:03:25.403
Not as a magic book, but as a book that teaches you how to think, what to think.

0:03:28.127,0:03:32.460
There is this teaching ministry, whether in our home or in small-groups, or with

0:03:32.460,0:03:34.700
our children, or one-on-one with a neighbour,

0:03:34.700,0:03:37.340
or around the coffee machine at work.

0:03:37.340,0:03:40.580
And then evangelistic Bible-studies and adult Bible Classes.

0:03:40.580,0:03:46.607
Whatever, constantly constantly teaching, preaching the word of God.

0:03:51.100,0:03:55.161
How else shall we respond to this world that is

0:03:55.161,0:03:58.100
going off on its own and other directions?

0:03:58.100,0:04:01.940
How else shall we prevail in the last days?

0:04:01.940,0:04:06.257
We hold out the word to others.

0:04:07.175,0:04:09.062
Partager la vie

0:04:09.062,0:04:10.446

0:04:10.446,0:04:12.538

0:04:13.445,0:04:15.910
