…Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus; but Paul chose Silas… Acts 15:39-40 (NKJV)
Every disciple needs a mentor. When a young sapling is placed in the ground a stake is tied to it to make sure it grows straight. Sometimes even a fence is placed around it. Young disciples are like that. They need older, wiser, sturdier Christians planted beside them, holding them up and protecting them. Left to themselves, the winds of false doctrines will easily bend these young saplings and produce a crooked tree. Once fully grown, a crooked tree is nearly impossible to straighten. Let us be mindful of the saplings among us and tie ourselves to them until they are full grown. —Shane Johnson
We are the hands of Christ, reaching out to those in need,
We are the spirit of hope, we are the voice of peace. —S. Angrisano
