Reflecting on student ministry, thinking what do we do as leaders to help students walk close to the Lord. There are so many bible studies out there to use...some really good and some just trying to make a dollar. But which one? which one is the one? Here are some thoughts, not in any certain order.
1.It doesn't matter what we teach if the Holy Spirit does not move in our lives and in the life of the one hearing. 2. If we as leaders do not truly live out what we teach then why do we expect students to so? 3. We cannot lead students where we have not been....(tell them to pray and we don't...tell them to read their bible and we don't...tell them to serve and we don't...tell them to love unconditionally and we don't). 4. The word Leader is not a title it's a life style...lead by example. 5. We tell students to talk to others, besides their friends,truly love people...but we don't. 6. Live like your a believer...be intentionally in sharing the Gospel. 7. Students really desire to follow Godly leaders 8. Students don't care how much a leader knows...until a leader show how much they care. 9. Prayer changes everything. 10. Are you a Leader worth following? Where will students end up following you?
So...it may not be which is the right bible study...the one that will move in the hearts of students...it may be that us leaders don't spend enough time studying the BIBLE....the ONE holy word of God. Listen, the Word is enough! Study and meditate on it and let it flow out from deep inside of you...then students WILL be changed! And, that is a promise from God Himself...not me.
