Imitators of God
Paul tells us in Ephesians 5:1 to be imitators of God. This was a command Paul gives under the authority of God. We are to look like, act like, think like, and speak like God. Are you up to the challenge?
One way that we show God's character is by loving the lost the way God loves them. At Praise Assembly, we have a great ministry to the lost. One attendee commented that a different church refused to let him get on the church bus, but here at Praise, he found other people just like him.
That's what it's all about! Reaching those who are truly down and out, not just "playing church." When Jesus walked this earth, He hung out with sinners, not the righteous. If we are to imitate Him, that's what we should be doing!
We are like lighthouses, shining God's light in the darkness. The light in a lighthouse must be kept clean so it shines bright and clear at all times, even though it may never see the ships it helps. In the same way, you may never know whose lives you affect by your witness, by the way you shine God's light.
Keep shining bright and clear! That's one way to be an imitator of God.
