If you ve ever been a Little League parent, you know that when your child signed up to play, you were required to make a major commitment in terms of providing refreshments, transportation, trophies, and victory parties in addition to your attendance. There was nothing voluntary about your participation .The reason we have so many weak Christians is because they are half-committed to many causes rather than being totally committed to the things that matter most. Someone once said that the second half of a man s life is made up of the habits he acquired during the first half.
Human beings are creatures of habit.
The habit of prayer. If we don t habitually bring our cares to God in prayer then that means that we really don t trust God. And this will be a challenge, especially in light of the wide range of backgrounds from which new converts come and all the errors which are circulating in our society. Hence we must regularly study both the Old Testament and New Testament, including classes which deal with specific issues or doctrines. In such classes and sermons we must aim at presenting God s perspective of things.
