Pastor’s Thoughts
It is always a wise thing to live life with a teachable heart. If you behave as if you know everything then you will find yourself knowing very little.
A lot of what I have learned in life has been from watching and listening to other Godly men and women in my life.
If we want to live a wise and Godly life then we must always be learners watching and listening to people who love Jesus and God’s Word more than us.
Those are my favorite kind of people.
If we tune those type of people out in our life then we will find things not going so well for us.
Have a blessed Monday everyone. Set a time to meet with someone this week who loves Jesus and God’s Word more than you. When you meet with them, have questions ready and mouths shut. Simply listen and glean all that you can from said person.
