MAN UP BIBLE SERIES IRON MAN 2 – How to be a Mentor Lesson Three
The Real World I was not a big fan of the board game, LIFE. You went around a board and bad things happened to you. You filled up your car with a wife and kids. It seemed a bit pointless to me. Real Life can become like that game in many ways. Mentors (Coaches, Disciplers, Guides, Teachers, Trainers, Counselors) are there to bring some significance to this game of Life that we are playing each day. We need mentors. You are called to be a mentor. For some of you that is an easy step for others you have a lot of things to get straight before you can help others. Realize that God has called all of us to help others to be all they can be. In order for others to be like Jesus they must first see Jesus in us. Sadly that is not what the world sees in most Christians today. We are far from what we need to be. The great news is we are only a prayer away from perfection. If you are not ready to mentor, get ready right now. Pray and dedicate yourself to being like Jesus each and every day! The first step is the hardest but it is also the most rewarding.
The Real Word Matthew 16: 24 -26 Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus 24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?
